France Moves to Win Back Control of Content

This article discusses how French publishers are trying to create "e-books" in order to compete with Google and Amazon.  Problems are arising because French companies cannot seem to agree on a product.  I also wonder if the publishers will be able to create a competitive product because Amazon and Google have been so dominant in the "e-book" industry.

Interesting article. But I feel that the comparison lacks weight since it would be unfair to compare the market in France to those of Amazon and Ebay. It is true that Ebay and Amazon are dominating the markets with their intense R&D. However, a French company should understand that it is only going to be good enough to compete in the French market rather than competing internationally with the likes of Amazon and Ebay which are already giants in their fields.
