    • Abstract:
      This article is about the work of Nick Bogaty, executive director of the Open eBook Forum. Nick Bogaty is not a librarian, but he plays nicely with them, along with publishers, hardware manufacturers, software producers, database vendors, and disability rights advocates. All are groups that share an interest in making e-books work for their customers. Getting these competing interests together to create common standards for digital book production and digital fights management is Bogaty's job as executive director of the Open eBook Forum, the trade and standards association for the industry. A lot like herding cats, the task requires a gift for diplomacy. Bogaty has the necessary gifts.
