Better World Books, the book selling and distributing B corporation of
Mishiwaka IN, has been acquired by Better World Libraries, an affiliate of
the Internet Archive.  Brewster Kahle and Dustin Holland of BWB made the
announcement at the Charleston Conference today, with a view to
digitization in support of "controlled digital lending".  An ambitious and
exciting move.
