I'm fascinated by the problem of working ebook readers of this sort into the functions of a public library. It'd be easier to think about if I actually had one.
I don't know about the world, as I have been listening more to the debacle in the U.S. it's hard to imagine a solution coming from giving money to certain enterprises and leaving out others. What's even more discouraging is the way in which the monies are handed over, often times, and seemingly without regard to their use until afterwards when public outrage forces those in power to reconsider their moves. Sadly it feels as if some of the voiced thoughts in the government sound oddly undemocratic in the effort to save the economy. It would be a terrible and drastic day to give up ones support of a system in leiu of another for the continued support of a system which has become flawed due to economic crysis. I do think that this is the time for the banks to take more accountability for the services they offer especially in the housing market, and to find ways to remedy the problems aggressive lending has lead to. A series of checks and balances should apply to all, and possibly in the future, extend beyond the government.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
