<<on the other side, there's Microsoft (MSFT) and Gemstar, the chief architects behind a new, open e-book formatting specification called OEB, or open e book.>>

I guess I need to understand OEB better. Do MSFT and GMST have an agreement on what that standard is? I thought they were competitors. Who controls OEB? I thought GMST had proprietary ebook software acquired as a result of buying Softbook, that Thomson was the only company so far to license it and that it was not compatible with what MSFT was promoting (which in turn is different from Adobe's, Glassbook's and I don't know how many other flavors of ebook software).
