1. The New York Times published a great story yesterday about how publishers and distributors are watching the way you read e-books. It's really creepy. You should read it.

2. According to Galleycat, digital distributor OverDrive reports that King County leads the nation in digital downloads from libraries.

The libraries to make OverDrive’s ”Million Digital Checkouts Club” this year include: King County Library System in Washington, which recorded 1.6 million downloads up 25% over 2012

We're ahead of other library systems including Toronto (2nd place), New York City (3rd place), and libraries in Cleveland and Minnesota. In sixth place, at one million downloads? Seattle Public Library. We appear to have a special knack for downloading digital media from our libraries up here in the Northwest corner.
