Everything E: Ebooks, Electronics, Entrepreneurs, and Enthusiasm

摘要

Years ago I ran into Jean Bedord at a conference. She was carrying a rather large, bulky, contraption that looked like a thick binder. It was an early ebook reader. Since then, readers have shrunk to the size of a thin paperback, more titles are available, and the term "ebook" is part of the general lexicon. Once you get Amazon and Sony involved, it's just a matter of time before you see general acceptance of the technology. When I put the ebooks topic on my editorial calendar, Jean came to mind as one of the earliest of early adopters, and I was pleased that she was willing to share her insights with ONLINE readers.
