The final JISC National e-Book Observatory in the UK reports should be available on the Web in a few weeks, but I thought you might like access to an earlier report – “Dispelling myths about e-books with empirical evidence” – which includes (at the end) a taster for what you will find in the final reports.
I’m really excited about this tool – it recently opened its doors to the public and provides users with an innovative way to find the information they need. Aardvark connects people on the basis of questions and answers.
