SUMMARY - e-books brochures (and related information)

[Andrew Mutch]

I recently posted a question about the availability of online [and
printed] brochures about e-books.  I heard back from several libraries
who had brochures available online.  I also created one for my library
and have included that with my list.  The majority of responses were
focused towards e-books in general but because there was so much good
information, I included all of those links as well.  I know I found the
information helpful in understanding what is available in this
ever-changing field.  Happy browsing!

A special note of thanks to Kim Laird at the Library of Michigan who
came through with a whole collection of sites on e-books.  Thanks Kim!
