Description: "An e-book reader, also called an e-book device or e-reader, is an electronic device that is designed primarily for the purpose of reading digital books and periodicals and uses e-ink technology to display content to readers." (From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_readers)
Material Covered: The Sony reader.
What I learned: I learned that E-readers are light-weight and easy to get up and running.
Best Features: I thought the best feature was being able to click on a word and find out what it means. Being able to download out of print books to the reader is also a mark on the plus side for purchasing an E-reader. If your bookshelves are full to overflowing then having E-books may be a plan as they would take up much less space in the bookcase.
Problems/Limitations: The problem with E-readers is not to be able to hold the book or newspaper you are reading in your hands.
What I would still like to learn: I would like to use the reader to read a book to see if it is an option for me.
