I must admit to being a little late coming round to the vast potential of Amazon’s e-book reader, Kindle, and other similar technologies. My initial skepticism was pretty simple; no matter how good the screen technology might be, I’d still rather hold and read from an actual book, even if it is heavier/bigger/more awkward than the Kindle. However, I am now convinced that e-Book readers will be absolutely indispensable in revolutionising at least one area of reading life: the academic library.
