I think that this was a great lecture for this class; I would almost suggest having it sooner in the quarter. I have never really used an eBook nor did I know that we had such an immense collection available for use.
The only issue that I have with eBooks, for myself would be all of the disadvantages. One of the largest downfalls of eBooks is the lack of industry collaboration. I think that if all of the producers of the books worked together the concept would be much more successful. As it is the readers for eBooks are far too expensive to purchase one of those instead of just buying or borrowing books for the normal person who enjoys reading. The convenience of this type of technology I think will create business but one for those that look for convenience and money is not an issue.
This presentation was very informative. This is something that will be helpful to me if I ever choose to purchase an eBook reader for myself. But for now I think I'll stick with paper for all of my pleasure reading.
