***“bring the ebooks home”
TeleRead is an extensive ebook news site.
“TeleRead would not instantly eliminate paper books from the existing library systems–in fact, it never would. Paper books will always be with us even though the younger generation is increasingly screen oriented. The plan is more about evolution than revolution.”
(Disregard any projection that assumes the equivalence of paper and screen based monographs.)

an 18th century letter in the digital mode
“Let me be clear, your allegation is ridiculous. The 3,500 volunteers who have pledged to come to Iowa by caucus time are people who believe in a better America and a stronger democracy. Many are first time voters who have chosen to reengage in the political process because they understand that government has stopped working for the people. They know that Howard Dean is a different type of politician, and if we asked them to participate in the activities you allege, they would get in their cars and drive home.” Joe Trippi
Joe Trippi’s
letter January 8, in defense of the Dean movement has the impact and meaning of a communication from Thomas Paine.
“Two Over two hundred years ago, Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet that would light the fire that forged our nation. He called it ìCommon Sense.î Passed from hand to hand, patriot to patriot, it was a call to action for those Americans who believed their government had to change. It spelled out the values of a new republic. And King George IIIówho had forgotten his own people in favor of special interestsówas replaced by a government of, by and for the people. America was born.” Howard Dean
