Hi Emmanuel,
I contributed to the early OPDS spec design, and OLPC uses it for
bookserver tools used by various school deployments. Bastien has some good
links below.

You might be interested in these OLPC project, which
uses OPDS
as a format for distributing ebooks through a local server:

Hi
I discovered today OPDS (Open Publication Distribution System) which is
a XML feed norm to spread e-books catalogs. You may get more information
at:
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/OPDS
This seems to be pretty new but looks to be an interesting initiative. I
developed a straightforward XML feed for Kiwix content manager; this
works but using standards is often a better approach than re-inventing
the wheel (no idea why exactly I did not heard about that at the time I
was working on my own XML feed system).
Does someone have information/know-how/feedback about OPDS?
Regards
Emmanuel
