I have found little use for the ebook platform through the library website -- the formatting is difficult to read and awkward to navigate. Until someone comes up with an easy way to page through the book--and easily page to end notes without having to manually go searching for the page you were originally reading--I will continue to use print over electronic form.

One of the greatest possibilities with ebooks is the portability--kindle, iPad, other eBook readers. Many of these devices, however, present problems of their own: most academic presses are not on kindle (last I checked); you CAN upload PDFs onto a kindle, but the interface makes it IMPOSSIBLE to actually read the thing unless it's formatted perfectly; the back light of the iPad (and other like devices) give me extreme eye fatigue; and it is not possible use library books (which limits my reading to only books I've purchased).

There seems to be the technology to solve these problems, but the time/energy/money has yet to be invested. Until then -- regular print, print, print, print, print is the way to go.
