eBooks: A Battle for Standards 
After a decade, however, my initial enthusiasm over eBooks has waned considerably. Rather than looking forward to a new title as it becomes available, I immediately ask which format the title is available in, question how I can best access the title (which operating system, using which eBook reading application), scheme about how best to convert it to a more convenient format, and then eventually give up caring. Certainly, eBooks still hold a great deal of unrealized promise.

Modern Chivalry and the Case for Electronic Texts 
Finding editions of particular literary texts for the purposes of teaching or research has always been a problem for literary scholars. Given the current proliferation of electronic versions of texts available on the World Wide Web, it is tempting to assume that the problem is solved. Yet most professors are reluctant to use these sites and do not often recommend them to students. In reflecting on the reasons for this phenomenon, the most obvious causes seem to stem from questions of authority, design, and a general lack of knowledge concerning what is available and where it can be attained.

Writing and Publishing in the Boundaries: Academic Writing In/Through the Virtual Age
Increasingly, online publications are vying for prominence and acceptance in the academy. Questions about their validity and quality are raised alongside debates about the effects that these publications will have on academic scholarship. Despite all the hype around e-journals, few have carefully analyzed what differences actually exist between online journals and print journals. In this article, I undertake a comparative analysis of two key journals in the specialty field of computers and composition—Computers and Composition: An International Journal for Teachers of Writing, primarily a print journal, and Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy, an e-journal.
