Some say they read more “My reading habits have indeed changed and, if anything, I’m reading more than ever… I can read serially on the run -flipping between books as mood or need dictates- with hundreds of books in hand … I’m buying books just as frequently, but they’re eBooks.” Brad Moon.

DIY Book Scanning : A forum dedicated to book scanning, open source, DIY digitization. http://www.diybookscanner.org/ DIY Bookscanning How does it work?Unlike traditional scanners (which are slow, buggy, and break book bindings) DIY Book Scanning is fast and gentle. DIY Book Scanning re-imagines photocopying. In essence, it is simply pointing a camera at a page, and taking a picture. To be honest, most of us use two cameras because it's twice as fast - up to 1200 pages per hour. Since we've only got two hands, we build special frames to hold the lights, cameras, and other specialized parts while we turn pages and take pictures.

All those page-pictures need post- processing. Most of us use an excellent Free software package called Scan Tailor to clean the pages up in just a few clicks. After that, they can be converted into the format of your choice, and read on the device of your choice.

But the biggest impact has been in encouraging children to swap books. Bluetooth technology allows the handheld readers to connect to each other, so pupils can “beam” books they think are “sick”, or cool, to as many as six others at a time. “Normally you can only get them to do two or three book reviews in a half- term, but now they are beaming books across to their friends, they are reading a lot more,” says Mr Welton.

Sampling – yes – and then seek out the print copy. Search – yes – and ditto. Battery life. More likely to read digital if it works with hardware they already own – but won’t buy hardware for ereading.

Difficulty in concentrating on a screen. Difficulty in concentrating on a device which offers distractions. Price of eBooks is an issue. Sharing favourite reads / books is an issue. Fragile. Lose-ability.

Cost of readers; cost of eBooks. Format loyalty. Limited range of titles.

eBooks and eJournals – is ePublishing coming in from the cold? : John Royce : ECIS November Conference 2010 Super search-engine My suspicion is much of the use, as can be the case with large collections of e-journals, is driven by convenience, since keyword access to some 30,000 electronic books, as in my library’s case, offers a high success rate ... when it comes to accessing the content – using it, reading it, absorbing it – students want the print book.
