Perhaps the more important announcement is that OverDrive (the company that handles electronic media for many public libraries) has included eBooks in their media console applications that they distribute for use on iPhone and Android. Meaning you can check-out an eBook from a public library over-the-air without having to enter in to the mildewy building. The current implementation isn't ideal (it's inside OverDrive's application and not native to the device's eBook reader) but it's a great step towards making digital lending/borrowing viable on a large scale.
