Aug 02, 2001
Today's press release from Adobe was essentially a nothing item: it plans to have a line of e-books ready for the fall. We knew that. What the press release really signals is that Adobe is firmly on the side of publishers in their efforts to make people pay for online versions of texts and other books. Here's the plan: students will be able to download the Reader for free and then buy their e-textbooks directly from publishers' Web sites, campus bookstores, online book sellers, and Adobe.com.Will they save any money? probably not.Adobe Press Release, August 2, 2001.
