Elsewhere in the publishing world:
- Tor has announced it will drop DRM from its digital books.

The Week in Books
If you’re not in Chicago right now, where this year’s Romantic Times convention is in full swing, you can follow the action (as many of us are doing right now, sob) via Twitter. Keep a search on #RT12 in your Twitter client open and watch the various rundowns. Already we’ve read some interesting recaps of talks by Mark Coker of Smashwords and author JA Konrath, and seen some yummy cover model pics at the various parties.

With Leap Day coming soon, we have one more day to enjoy a good book in February. Make it a good one! If you’re feeling nostalgic for your first years of reading, you might want to revisit the Berenstain Bears in memory of co-creator Jan Berenstain, who passed away recently at 88. Between the Berenstain Bears, Richard Scarry, and Dr. Suess, I was never far from a book as a child.
