  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 657
  Ugh, it’s time to broach the topic again. Why the devil doesn’t the International Digital Publishing Forum have an ePub logo so its format standard can compete better against the Kindle’s? The IDPF said it would unveil a contest for the best logo design, but I haven’t seen a follow-up. I’ve emailed ...

  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 657
  Photo Note: My auto-focus digital camera had a little trouble getting good shots of the screen; no matter what I do, the shots tend to turn out slightly off-focus.

• Sony, B&N better on DRM than Amazon—but still a long way from perfection

  
  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 657
  Sony, B&N promise to rekindle rights for book owners is the headline on a Boing Boing posting from Rob Beschizza.

  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 657
  ePub and the group behind it can vex me— a lot . I agree with Paul on such matters as the long-delayed ePub logo. Look, IDPF , where’s the logo contest you promised to announce at Frankfurt?
