Mobi will NOT offer an ePub creation tool

By David Rothman

image Shucks. As I feared, a MobileRead post was wrong. Mobipocket is not offering an ePub creation tool. Mobi is, however, enabling imports from ePub, despite some flaws, which the company is looking into.

And speaking of details—our glitch, in this case: Hachette is not the company introing the Sony Reader to France. It is, however, preparing to offer books in the Sony format there. The stylish Reader seems indeed destined for France, a nation notable for its aesthetics. I propose that the French consider a law banning the Kindle until Jeff Bezos gets rid of the adding-machine look.
