E-drug: books on CD-ROM?  
------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Valeria,

Good initiative!

Did you investigate whether the people who want books could also  
read those books from a CD-ROM? I think it should be possible to  
get limited rights to distribute eg BNF, martindale etc via CD to  
people in rural areas of developing countries.

In E-drug we are setting up a new website with a lot of  
documentation. It would seem logical to make some of that  
available on a CD-ROM in the future.
