Publishers, Chinese Pirates, and a Cartoon Newsletter

I don't even know how to classify this one.

The news coming out of the London Book Fair from the publishing technology side is pretty tame. The Book Standard reports on the US's petitioning of the WTO regarding Chinese theft of US intellectual property: "Pat Schroeder, AAP president and CEO, said that a 'conservative estimate' was that AAP members lost $52 million in piracy of books and journals in China in 2006."

But what I find newsworthy is the reproduction of The Bookseller's daily LBF edition, in which this article originally appeared. It's animated! And it's got a cool zoom function! And it doesn't take a lifetime to load, like Adobe does!

I can't stop playing with it.
