week 9 #22 e-books

I have to admit that e-books don't do it for me. I have set up my Netlibrary account and explored the e-books that Auckland City Libraries subcribes to. The e-book world is still very much geared to academic material but is slowly changing towards more popular titles read by our public library customers. The titles are mainly US publications. The only title I found on sports was published in 1996. I have added Italian cookbook to my book favourites. E-book suppliers tell me that we can expect better things in the future. Call me old-fashioned, but I like to read a printed book - I can take it wherever I want and pick it up whenever I want. Saying that e-books are used by library customers and are part of the increasing new world of "books".
