EBNA was created to raise publishers' and consumer awareness of e-reader devices as platforms for distributing news and information. The organization also plans to facilitate the flow of such content, provide technical research, advice and insights, and represent periodical publishers in the Ebook, PDA and E-Paper industries. ``Consumers will use e-readers even more if those devices contain the content that people most frequently read,'' said Vin Crosbie, president of Digital Deliverance, LLC, and acting Chairman of EBNA. ``Moreover, e-reader devices are unique in that they provide many of the combined advantages of websites and traditional print.'' Other founding members of EBNA and their organizations include: William Adler, The Reader's Digest Association; David E. Carlson, Interactive Media Lab at the University of Florida and American Journalism Review; Matthew Benner, Digital Book Group Director of Technology, Barnes & Noble.com; Roger Fidler, Institute for Cyber Information at Kent State University and Future of Print Media Journal; Danny Meadows-Klue, former Publisher, The Electronic Telegraph, London; Kerry Northrup, Executive Director, NewsOps Centre, IFRA; Steve Outing, Content Exchange and Interactive Publishing Columnist, Editor & Publisher; Norbert Specker, President, Catchup Communications AG, Zurich; Tom Regan, The Christian Science Monitor Electronic Edition; Jay Small, Thomson Multimedia, and Steve Yelvington, Morris Digital Works.
