Why We Love Ebooks
OK, that isn't really the thrust of this article. But if we read it and the responses, we will be more familiar with the problems that this technological way of reading poses. Think of it as reverse psychology. And DEA made me post it!

I posted this article to a "library technology" course I am taking at SJSU that swears about the promise of the ebook and made sure to send a link to my professor who requires us to read text from various ebook readers...unfortunately ebooks are lame, inefficient, costly, unreliable, and far from technologically advanced. As a young MLIS student supportive of library's attempts at technology innovation, I can't help but laugh at systems and librarians who think "ebooks" will bring libraries to the forefront of digital technology. Love, An annonymous library student who happens to be a clerk at Childrens...
Oh anonymous clerk at Childrens - thank you for sending on this little gem on the ebook, that will never replace a covered paper product in my bed at night as I read myself to sleep. You are a wise library student!
