Sign the Petition at ebooksforlibraries.com!
We have created a petition website – ebooksforlibraries.com. Visit the website, watch the video (also embedded in this post), and more importantly – fill out the petition today!
What’s going on? Pretty simple:
? Libraries are having trouble getting ebooks from the largest publishing companies. These publishers are adding restrictions and price increases, or simply not selling ebooks to libraries at all.
? This means that library customers can get a print copy of a book from a library, but can’t get that same book in an ebook format. And that’s just weird.
? Goal – we need 10,000 e-signatures from readers.
? Once we hit that magic number, we plan to mail the completed petitions to each of the big six publishers. Why? We want to communicate directly with publishers through this petition process, with the intent of establishing formal and consistent communication between publishers and readers.
