I’ve previously mused on this site here and here that the iPod might just be the vessel to bring viable ebooks to the masses. Well, Engadget reports today that insiders have told them that Apple is pursuing just that. “[A]ccording to a source at a major publishing house, they were just ordered to archive all their manuscripts — every single one — and send them over to Apple’s Cupertino HQ.” Ebooks would be such an easy addition to the iTunes Music Store, and an iPod with larger screen space could easily handle ebook functionality. But as I’ve also said before, I think to really have it take off, a good ebook service will have to offer not just books, but periodicals and to the minute web content as well.
