If there was some award for cool April Fools jokes, I'd nominate you. I at least owe you a beer.

I just wasted five minutes of my life over an April Fool's joke on what is supposed to be an informational site? Geesh.

Well, you could have gone to Google and been fooled there, or Yahoo and been fooled there, or Smashwords and been fooled there, or...

Actually, I suspect something like this will end up happening eventually. Google has scanned gazillions of books. Last fall they settled with the US publishers and authors by proposing a scheme whereby libraries will be able to pay to access that content. If they team up with a large bookseller and get that additional leverage on the publishers and market, they may be able to work out a deal to sell access to that content to everyone. Ebook readers are in the news these days, so I think people are starting to understand that more is needed than just a "read online" solution. |

April fools joke or not, it'd end up with us in the UK being overlooked once again!
