Penny Sympson was kind enough to send the link to Amazon's Call Me service I noted the other day. It is still just as cool as I said it was. Thanks, Penny! :-)

Intel Joins in Venture to Send Films Via Web

“Chip maker Intel Corp. and an entertainment firm co-founded by actor Morgan Freeman said Wednesday that they had formed a digital entertainment company aimed at delivering first-run movies to consumers via the Internet.

The partnership, called ClickStar Inc., will enable users to download films legally from the Web for a fee, before they are released on DVD and possibly while they are still in theaters. [L.A. Times]

I’m going to have to contact these folks and ask if they’re willing to work with libraries. I mean, don’t you think Easy Reader would want to work with libraries?!

We got a nice blurb in School Library Journal about the gaming grant we submitted last month. It's much appreciated but for the record, I'm not a board member of YALSA. I hope it's still legal for me to advocate libraries offer gaming for young adults. ;-)
