Reaction to the Wallace Library Presentation

The presentation made me realize that nowadays e-books are becoming more popular but the e-book readers are too expensive to purchase! It seems ridiculous to purchase over three hundred dollars worth for an e-book reader. But since it is a new technology, it is always expensive so nothing is new. Personally, I have never used one and I am curious to see what it is like. When the time is right and the price is low, I would probably buy one! It would be nice to have a reader since it is small and easy to carry around. Another good advantage is that it could hold more than fifty books. This is a great thing to have when going on a long journey so that way you wouldn't have to carry so many books with you.

Of course, in the beginning, e-book readers are not that popular yet. But I believe that it would become successful because readers have many advantages and benefits. Although there are some disadvantages such as e-books could not be printed or it is not readability, company would try to improve their weaknesses and meet people' expectation.
