375096 01: Librarian Megan McArdle displays some text August 3, 2000 from a book available on one of nine new Rocket eBooks available at the Chicago Public Library. In a continuing effort to promote reading among members of the video game generation, the library system is participating in a six-month experiment with the small hand-held computers that resemble oversized Palm Pilots and capable of storing 100 books in its memory. The text on the eBook can also be rotated and read either in the horizontal or vertical position. (Photo by Tim Boyle/Newsmakers)

I've often wondered if Manukau Libraries would be at the point where we could offer e-book readers for loan. When I worked at the Auckland College of Education Library we used to short-term loan laptops for students. It was successful!
