eReader is now using RSS to keep customers up to date on new titles. RSS uses standards. A nice follow-up would be for eReader to consider a carefully phased migration to another standard for its software itself–the OpenReader format. Perhaps the new crew at the company will be more clueful than the earlier people about the damage that the Tower of eBabel is doing to the e-book business, in terms of costs to publishers and inconvenience, costs and confusion for readers.
