  • Use of E-Readers (2011)
    Use of e- readers- Report from Loughborough University Library Peter Lund * Ann O’Brien (Department of Information Science) Nick Loakes (Student Summer Intern, Department of Information Science) Katie Appleton* Bryan Dawson * *University Library April 2011 Loughborough University Library Introduction E-readers are becoming increasingly common – since April 2010 sales of the iPad have reached 12 million units. Although exact sales of the Kindle are unknown, over Christmas 2010 the Kindle outstripped Harry Potter as the biggest selling item on the Amazon web site(1). The e-ink used by devices such as the Kindle, Sony Touch and iRiver Story enables books to be read in broad daylight and without problems associated with screen glare. The ability to store large numbers of books and PDFs are other reasons that the Kindle and similar devices are developing quickly for personal use. An as yet unpublished Library survey indicates that of 1107 respondents some 25% had access to e- books from some mobile device (54 had Kindles, 17 Sony readers, 48 iPads, 153 other - mainly iPod Touch and iPhone). This project sought to explore how the Library might make use of, or support the use of, e-readers. Literature review and other e-reader projects There are a large number of news articles discussing e-readers, concentrating on new product announcements and particular advantages to the consumer of each one. A number of these are listed in the bibliography. Most instructive discussions are those highlighting the potential use of e-readers in academic libraries and these were recently provided by Dougherty (2) and by Drinkwater(3).

    August 19, 2010 US Tablet Buyers Are Multi-PC Consumers by Sarah Rotman Epps for Consumer Product Strategy Professionals Making Leaders Successful Every Day For Consumer Product Strategy Professionals August 19, 2010 US Tablet Buyers Are Multi-PC Consumers Product Strategists Must Position PCs And Peripherals Within A Multidevice Lifestyle by Sarah Rotman Epps with J.P. Gownder and Laura Wiramihardja EXECUTIVE SummarY The success of the Apple iPad has created a halo around tablets in general: Consumers are interested in these devices, even if they’re confused about what they actually are. US online consumers who own or intend to buy iPads and other tablets fit a typical early-adopter profile, and their characteristics have implications for product strategists designing tablets to compete with the iPad. They own multiple PCs and connected devices; they’re voracious media consumers; and they have an affinity for other Apple products but aren’t exclusively “Apple-ites.” Product strategists should use these insights both to create would-be iPad competitors and to position other devices and peripherals as complementary to tablets in a multi-PC ecosystem. tabLE OF CONTENts NOTES & RESOURCES 2 The iPad Has Kicked Off Tablet Mania Forrester used data from its North American 3 Contrary To Popular Belief, Grandma Isn’t Technographics® surveys in this report.

  • Hi, This Is Stef I'm Here to Give You a Quick Introduction to Two E-Book
    Hi, this is Stef I’m here to give you a quick introduction to two e‐book devices, the Amazon Kindle 2, and the Sony PRS‐700. I’ll tell you about their features and how libraries are using them. You can check out pictures of the devices from the links in the blog post, along with a chart that compares the two. There are some similarities between the two devices. Both have typical ebook functions like making notes, bookmarking, looking things up in a dictionary. They both use e‐Ink technology for their screens. E‐Ink is cool! It only uses energy when turning the page, so both of these devices get amazing battery life…up to 2 weeks, if you aren’t using the wireless…we’ll talk more about that in a minute! And text in e‐ink looks more like text on regular paper than we’ve seen in previous ebook devices. Both have screens that are only black and white, though the Kindle displays twice as many shades of grey as the Sony, so it has more definition in illustrations. And the screen size and weight are very similar for both devices . They both have a 6” x 6” screen and weigh about 10 ounces. The prices for the devices aren’t exactly the same, but they are similar: The Kindle is a little cheaper than the Sony: $360 for the Kindle and $400 for the Sony. Now let’s talk about some things that they do differently You interact with the Kindle very differently than with the Sony.
