E-book Site TeleRead.org Acquired by North American Publishing

Gadgetell, a division of Philadelphia, Pa.-based North American Publishing Co. (NAPCO), has acquired TeleRead.org, a Web Site covering global e-book news based in Alexandria, Va.

TeleRead covers daily and long-term developments for readers, writers, editors, publishers and sellers of e-books, as well as for librarians. Created in the 1990s, it is believed to be the oldest English-language Web site devoted to general e-book news and views, according to TeleRead.
