Someone asked me to post a hit on the results of my request for information on the ebook reader. Here are the replies that I received. I'm a new e-book user, but so far I love my Rocket Reader Pro (about $269!) Thanks! P. Bacon Look on page 8 of the December issue of Consumer Reports. I just read this article on the new ebook readers coming out in Dec. I have never used one, but I was recently at a workshop where an e-book author recommended them. She said that it will hold about 10 average size books. Lee Ann Kee The Rocket ebook may not be available at this time...last time I checked Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, the Rocketbook wasn't available pending new release. Thomson Electronics has a new machine coming out in the next week or so...Oprah will be giving this away to her audiences as a gift...there are two models...one with color technology. A service maybe subscribed to for acquiring materials for download. You might check Thomson Electronic website... Cheri Anderson,LMS These are great...just be aware that you have to pay for some books, and the cost is often about the same as for a print copy. The free books out there are typically the classics, where there's not copyright issue. Any bestsellers he'll have to buy, of course. I got a Rocket eBook last Christmas, and I love it. It holds 4000 pages of text, has great backlighting, a dictionary, etc. Downloading books is easy, and the list of titles is growing. I've yet to show it to a single person who didn't have a positive reaction to it. I say go for it!
