Amazon is obviously digitizing the entire contents of their books. I have an image of this I’ll dig up

This must be putting a lot of pressure on the publishers to get their books online. I think that Amazon is going to be a pioneer here. Apparently there is a new way to check out books from a library that perserves the concept of “one copy, one checked out”, which I think does a decent job of bridging the structural gap between atoms and bits in regards to business models.
