There's a two-day symposium on mass digitization of literature going on right now at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Publisher Tim O'Reilly is giving a keynote speech called "Reading 2.0" at this very moment. It's a live webcast. Two minutes into his speech, he has already shown Wikipedia as the future of the encyclopedia. Adam Smith from Google will speak at 5 pm EST.
