There is some very useful info on the e-books page of SCONUL's Higher
Education Library Technology website (http://helibtech.com/E-Books )
including links to Karl Drinkwater's article for SCONUL Focus and also to
the LIS EBooks thread on this topic in September which discussed library
experience of different devices. The links to Eric Hellman's blog postings
on e-books generally and devices in particular are well worth reading too.

Hello Lis-linkers
Is anyone lending e-book readers or i-Pads to library users and are they
pre-loaded with any library resource? I'll summarise for the list if
required.
