  1. 2 Let me put this in perspective in another way. . . 1. netLibrary: we have made ourselves partners to both the corporations and the publishers. 2. Customer: ...by doing so, we are not simply focused on your needs today; we’re focused on your ongoing, long-term need for the latest titles. 3. This last year and half have just been the beginning of eBooks. We have completed the cycle, giving you the opportunity to influence the future of eBooks. 4. netLibrary: focusing strictly on one or the other relationship jeopardize the publishers’ confidence in online distribution and would jeopardize the ability for us, and then you, to get next year’s and the year after’s titles. 5. Publisher: publishers are the content controllers. By making their confidence equally important to us--a perspective unique to netL--we are ultimately fortifying an ongoing channel between customer and publisher. 6. Publishers have come to embrace our model, as is evidenced by our 200+ relationships, meaning that customer needs will gain increasing influence over the coming months/year. (In contrast to a distributor struggling for market share who emphasizes the customer to the expense of the publisher and damages the only relationship that can offer content next year and the year after.)
