Last week’s tech section reviews the state of e-book readers in A Walk Through a Crop of Electronic Readers.
THE release this week of Amazon’s Kindle 2 has put electronic book readers in the spotlight. Its proponents celebrate the ability to store thousands of titles on a single lightweight device; the access to newspapers, magazines and blogs while on the go; and the ability, at the click of a button, to own one of hundreds of thousands of titles in seconds.
I can’t add much more without having tested the devices myself.
So I’ve come around on my opposition to e-book. Somewhat. With a device like the Kindle, I could see myself reading happily on the train and buying books instantly. Despite these added conveniences, I don’t think e-books will replace books anytime soon.
It is probably time that these devices are compared from an accessibility point of view. Care to lend me one?
