Frankfurt 2010: David Risher's Worldreader.org
PW: "As a senior vice president of product and platform development at Amazon.com, David Risher was well aware of the potential of ebooks. But it wasn't until he left the company in 2008 that he discovered just how powerful ebooks really can be. Today, his non-profit venture, Worldreader.org, is undertaking an ambitious goal – to bring ebooks and ereaders to the developing world and, along with them, a self-sustaining reading and publishing culture."
