Library Journal has a short item today on the International Digital Publishing Forum meeting last week.
I blogged about the announcement last month about Digital Book 2008 (the name of the conference). It turns out that the .epub is XML based, to support page-readers, but will reformat depending upon the reader. (Obviously we'll have to give up page numbers as a reference point.)
Today Wendy Davis blogged on MediaPost's OnlineExaminer that Napster is opening a DRM-free music store.
I still hold with my earlier comments that most publishers need to jump in to the eBook with little or no DRM. I think us small fishes could end up shelling out money for scalable walls that should go towards creating better, viable online content.
