Still More on E-Book Readers

     It’s safe to say that eBooks surged into mainstream popularity in 2010. Making the debut of eBooks in the WILBOR collection especially significant.

     We’ve heard so many stories about your patrons’ interest in eBooks—and fielded many questions, too. Consider that 7 Northwest libraries are standing by to join WILBOR in the spring enrollment and I think we can also say that interest in eBooks continues unabated. For all of us lifelong learners of new technology, here’s more information on eBook readers, thanks to Jet Kofoot at Central LSA.

     This link takes you to an article in PC World called “Top E-Readers”

     And if you turn to EBSCO, there’s an article from the December 2010 issue of Consumer Reports called “Ebook Readers: They’ve Never Been Better or Cheaper.” Aahh...another reason to love and subscribe to EBSCO: literally thousands of magazines and journals at your command!

     You could print these articles to share with inquiring customers, use them as handouts for library computer classes, or link to these on your library’s website. In any case, more timely information on eBook readers—thanks again to Jet for sharing her sleuthing.
