February 3, 2025

Here are a few stories to read this Monday morning.

  • Bookshop.org has launched an ebook platform.
  • NetGalley has launched a new browser-based reading app.
  • On a related note, they’ve also dropped support for Adobe DRM, which means that ereaders such as Kobo’s are no longer supported.
  • The USA Copyright Office has released part 2 of its report on the copyright and AI. You can find both parts here.
  • Computer Scientists have developed a new algorithm for optimizing the sorting of the books in your library. (I don’t see why we would need this; piles stacked up all over works just fine for me.)
  • Victoria Strauss is absolutely right when she says that the UK’s newly proposed copyright exception would turn copyright law on its head.
