European project creating the library of all digital libraries
,----[ Quote ]
| This is now likely to change for the better. The
| DRIVER project is a co-ordinated, multi-phase
| effort by European information scientists to
| create a cohesive, robust and flexible, pan-
| European infrastructure for digital repositories.
| The researchers have already created a search
| engine that regroups over a million âopen accessâ
| articles from 260 of Europe's leading
| institutions.

| and auto detects the Kindle allowing quick syncing of non-Amazon download
| books.

| DRM: Books in the Amazon Kindle store are in the AZW DRM-encumbered format.
| What can I say about this that has not been said a thousands times before?
| How can I support DRM and look my look my OSS friends in the eye? Easy, I
| (mostly) donât. 90% of the books on my Kindle are free public domain titles
| or DRM-free titles I purchased from a third party e-bookstore (see above).

|
| The Ugly
|
| Remote Deletion: In July, Amazon remote deleted thousands copies of 1984
| (Irony, thy name is Amazon) from Kindles, since they did not really have the
| e-books rights for that title.
