Interesting sponsors..... Maybe a good time to ask Bloomsbury why they charge £40+ for their titles on Overdrive (av title cost £8)? Obviously we don't buy any Bloomsbury ebook titles at that price! Their online bookshelf offer is not comparable, customers want to download to their devices not read on a PC. -- David Tanner Manager: Stock and Systems Adult and Community Services (Information) North Yorkshire County Council Library HQ 21 Grammar School Lane Northallerton North Yorkshire DL6 1DF Tel: 01609 533814 Fax: 01609 780793 email: [log in to unmask] At the moment I am reading Started early, took the dog by Kate Atkinson. >>> On 06/01/2011 at 2:03 pm, in message <[log in to unmask]>, Miranda McKearney <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > At the Reading Agency we are developing a range of exciting plans for > national digital content.
