why is it "notable" that random house will be using epub?

aren't they in the i.d.p.f. -- the publisher's trade organization,
much like the beloved r.i.a.a. that is the trade organization of
the recording industry -- which formulated the epub format?

like o'reilly is a member of this very same trade organization?
indeed, wasn't an o'reilly employee just voted onto the _board_
of this trade organization? (congratulations, i guess, to andrew.)

why wouldn't random house use their own organization's format?

so, will there be an astroturfing entry _every_ time one of the
123 members of this trade organization issue a press release?

will the various o'reilly blogs become the new incarnation of
david rothman's teleblawg and become constant floggers of
open-reader, no make that dot-reader, no make that epub?

oops!

andrew came in _second_, and this election was just for
_one_ open seat on the board of directors. so my bad...

better luck next time, andrew. you're #2, try harder! ;+)

I thinks this is EPUB good only to download ebook
