Public Transportation as a way to keep up?

On my way home via Pace last night, I saw a nifty news headline on one of those "transitTV" they have on the buses, HarperCollins is jumping into the digital audiobook ring. They plan on digitizing a backlist of 20,000 titles and as many as 3,500 new titles each year. Full Story via WSJ

LOL-- can't even "unplug" on the bus!

Also of note, they dedicated a seat on each bus to Rosa Parks (via a simple white text on black background sticker on the window.) I thought the stickers should have also included a link to their website which could have linked to biographical info about Ms. Parks. They had a photo posted on their website home page for a short time, but it's gone now.

Would have been sweet if they had partnered with ... perhaps a library association, and added something like, "If you'd like to learn more about Ms. Parks, take Pace to your local library."
