Amazon and MacMillan go to war

**D* G* <g*@gmail.com>**

Here's an article I think is particularly fascinating particularly as it
relates to the worldwide secret negotiations that are going on right now
about copyright and extending as restrictive system as possible (3 strikes
you're out type stuff).

This is the first salvo in the developing standards war (which ebook format
is going to be adopted)  For the record - the new ipad will be using e-pub
formats rather than the Amazon mobi format so Amazon and Kindle are now
pretty much on their own.  That makes Sony, Nook, ipad vs Kindle.

The **** has finally hit the fan.
