E-books might be next step in evolution, says S&P research
It's been a long time coming, but finally research analysts recognize the value of e-books! Kimberly Castro, research editor at S&P, says that e-books are on the rise, thanks to recent developments in display technology and to joined efforts of book-relevant industry players. S&P's parent, McGraw-Hill, stated earlier that e-books made a strong contribution to their third-quarter earnings this year.

I think it's more likely that Ms. Castro has missed something. I think we wouldn't need Business Week's off-hand comment to be the sole voice of proclamation on this.

By the way, the CourseSmart textbook offerings at http://www.coursesmart.com/ are certainly rather limited at present and come at a fairly hefty price (50% off the list price of the pbook) for a 180 day "subscription" where the book can be viewed online only (no downloads).

You know, it would have been hilarious if you'd said Jim Baen's Universe.

How 'bout that? BusinessWeek ghost-writes science fiction for Jim Baen.

I think it's the editor who needs the slap. Talk about "How NOT to publish news articles"...
