Amazon Publishing in Talks to Offer E-books to Public Libraries - Publishers Weekly

14 days

Today as Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere he heard cautious clapping outside the Panzermobile. Following the noise took him to the Publishers Weekly site. With a little digging in the posts he found one about Amazon Publishing.

 

According to the post by Andrew Albanese, Amazon Publishing is in talks with the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) to start offering ebooks to public libraries. Apparently, the talks have been in the process between the two for several months. Discussions are around the library lending procedures. Included in the post are links to other posts about Amazon library ebook policies and about the Digital Public Library of America.

 

Panzer says, "Interesting. This little kitty had never heard about the Digital Public Library of America."
