I thought I would use a little of my NTF funding to buy a selection of E Book readers. My aim is to evaluate them for ease of use and to speculate on what kinds of implications and applications they might have for academic libraries. I will be looking at as many different models as possible, testing how they handle different formats, thinking about accessibility and potential uses within HE. I plan to ask a range of people (students, teachers, admin staff, library staff) to try them and give me (structured) feedback on some of the above points and more. I wondered if any people reading the blog might also have an ebook reader and might like to contribute their experiences, give me an opinion, or volunteer to try out a reader for me. If so, I’d love to hear from you (moira.bent@ncl.ac.uk)
