Hello TeleRead readers—allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dan Eldridge, and I’m both pleased and honored to announce that as of today, and for the foreseeable future, I’ll be acting as TeleRead.com’s editor-in-chief.

TeleRead’s previous editor, the inimitable Paul Biba, resigned from his position early last week in order to pursue other opportunities.

John Scalzi won't have to field any tough questions about how digital rights management software (DRM) works at tonight's book signing. The author—out on tour promoting his newest science fiction novel, "Redshirts: A Novel with Three Codas"—says those difficult discussions popped up regularly when he engaged with his tech-savvy fan base in the past. But he doesn't expect any of that negative discourse at tonight's Boston-area signing event—or at any of the other scheduled stops on his current campaign to promote the New York Times bestseller.
