RE: Ebooks To All.... Doing some more DD on the Ebook side of the house tonight. Some simple questions that have me scratching my head. www.rocketbook.com www.softbook.com Both are part of the GMST family, but it seems that they are duplicating efforts and competing in the market. Has Henry, or any of the Execs explained the branding strat of the ebook platform? The CNBC piece on ebooks showed a Softbook Reader, but I have heard execs talk in terms of "RocketBooks" If I am confused then I know that "Joe Sixpack" will be as well. Will Rocket or Soft....go away? What about the current install base? Are their formats (Rocket, Soft) compatible, what about the security? I am very interested in the model that Thompson is manufacturing. The CNBC spot led me to belive that Thompson is working on the softbook format... I don't have to be spoon fed, a point in the right direction will do just fine. TIA, Drew
