In global Net terms, proprietor Scott Redford is almost a neighbor to me here in Virginia—he’s in the Richmond area, while I’m in Alexandria, 100 or so miles away—and I’ve long appreciated his enthusiasm for e-book standards. May the day come soon when the IDPF’s .epub standard catches on big, and independent retailers like Diesel can worry more about books and less about the Tower of eBabel! Good luck, Scott. News release follows.
