eReaders

After reading the SLJ article, Ereaders, the iPad - Is That All There Is? from Emily, a classmate, I went to Borders and played with both the pocket Sony eReader ($199) and the touch eReader ($299). The touch, though bigger, did have the ability to highlight passages and make notations while reading. It is still just a cool looking electronic book reader for the solitary reader.

David Lankes articulated a web 2.0 eReader reinvention of reading... a device enabling reading to become a social activity. After taking notes and citing passages, sharing them with friends, colleagues and even authors in real time with an ever-present network connection... I think I'll wait for that!
