    Penguin embraces ebooks

    Penguin has jumped into the ebook format with both feet. From
    September it is making a large range of titles from its back
    catalogue available over the Internet. They includes classics from
    Jane Austen, Charles Dickens etc. as well as guide books, reference
    books and business titles (even Bill Gates' Business @ the speed of
    thought).

    The famous publishing house has racked its brains and come up with
    the new name ePenguin for the electronic books, but its decision to
    embrace the format - and, so it says, launch books purely as 
    ebooks - is a great step forward in making electronic books a more
    mainstream concept.
