3. Ebooks preserve books.

4. Ebooks are faster to produce than paper books.

Hello Thomas,

Thanks for mentioning my blog post about ebooks on your blog.

Please do one favor for me: do not "direct link" my image banner of Read an ebook week. (Bandwidth, bandwidth ... ) You may use the banner on your blog, if you upload it to your own web space on Blogger, or some other web space.

I found some interesting things on your blog: including a link to "Book Glutton." (thanks: I didn't know about that.) Some other things along those lines are ISSUU (www.issuu.com); and also Scribd.com has a new "iPaper" for displaying electronic documents.

Best wishes,

Michael Pastore
