EBR - Electronic Book Reader
While I wouldn't go so far as to suggest that e-readers are good enough that we can get rid of regular/traditional books, I will say that they can provide a great deal of benefit. Granted, they are glitchy right now, but with improvement they can become a valuable asset that may appeal to a greater market of people. Right now, there are too many individuals who prefer the old-fashioned feel of a book and the 'perks' of the e-reader are not enough to give that up. Not to mention the hype and concern relating to those with disabilities and their access with e-reader devices. However, for those on the go and with little room to dedicate to a heavy volume of texts, e-readers all the way! Or not? As was discussed in the presentation of this topic, there is still much more that needs to be done to make e-readers as good as they can be. E-reader ink. Color vs. black and white. Screen lighting. Memory. Presentation. Interactive screen interface. More? I think so. Personally, I am going to hold out until the perfect model comes along, which may be awhile...possibly never.
