I remember the first e-book I ever read. It was Tarzan on my Palm V. Fast forward to the present, I think most of my reading these days is via the electronic page. People who say that they’ll never get the hang of reading books on their handheld devices probably haven’t given it a serious try.
I don’t know how to explain this but when I re-read the classics on my Pocket PCs, I really enjoyed the experience. Reading them, the old fashioned way, the first time in high school–books: thick, heavy, and with tiny fonts– was torture.
Many of my students would rather read articles and essays online or on their phones (which I sent them via bluetooth) than go to the library and read the printed versions.
