E-School News published Iconic texts still missing from e-libraries addressing the still sporadic availability of some literary classics among e-book offerings. Of course, inclusion of the format in school libraries is limited by other factors.  Among these…the use of non-standardization (proprietary) file formats by some companies, and the requirement for reader installation (and updates) that may or may not peeve our tech support personnel, who already have way too much on their plates.  E-book providers need to offer a easy link that libraries can embed on their sites, allowing students to download the reader on their own computers.  Or better yet…why not a Web 2.0 (i.e. online reader that doesn’t require download).  Maybe it exists.  I haven’t found it yet.
