E-book vendors continue to experiment: adjustments to business
models, consolidation of content, and mergers with competitors mean
constant change. What’s good for innovation can equal confusion
when it comes to choosing an e-book platform for your library.
Making a sound purchasing decision requires research and close
consideration of trade-offs, and Roncevic’s new issue of Library
Technology Reports will get you started. Based on surveys of e-book
vendors with an established presence in academic, public, and/or
K–12 library markets, this report includes Background and
business model descriptions for 51 leading e-book vendors Four
tables comparing content, technical specifications, functionality,
and business models An at-a-glance overview of platforms, including
vendor website URLs Bulleted checklists of factors to consider, and
questions to ask vendors An examination of the blurring channels of
publisher, aggregator, and distributor platforms, with advice to
help you avoid content overlap
