New eBook forum leader targets education market (reg req'd)
Nicholas Bogaty, founder of the online intellectual property marketplace rightsworld.com, was tapped to head the Open eBook Forum in April.
Bogaty became the third executive director in the four-year history of the group, which aims to establish common specifications for electronic publishing.
By bringing aboard an industry pioneer as its new leader, the forum also intends to jump-start a movement that has been slow to catch on so far among consumers.
One step Bogaty is taking to address this problem is the enhancement of the Open eBook Publication Structure (OEBPS), the group's XML-based specification for eBook content and presentation.
"The growth of eBooks in school libraries is a big aspect our members want to pursue," he said, citing benefits such as their lower cost, greater accessibility, and the searchability of electronic texts.
Although eBooks are used in a few school districts now---Houston's Aldine Independent School District, for example, opened an eBook library with 375 titles last spring---schools overall have been slow to embrace the technology.
