"Horror Story": Title of article about Gemstar and E-books in 8/21 issue of Forbes. Nice picture of Rocketbook and Henry. "Gemstar also must overcome a potent foe: Microsoft. The two companies are pushing rival -and incompatible -standards." Article concludes that there will be no tornado without an industry standard. Generally a negative slant on E-books, but does include favorable quotes from Henry. Sorry, no link to Article. rel4490, My impression from this article... thestandard.com is that Microsoft and Gemstar are supporting the same standard (OEB) and are both competing with Adobe's PDF. Could someone shed light on this seemingly important conflict? Thanks, Stu
