The standalone PDA seems to be dying, but the prominence of smart phones and similar devices are opening new doors for ebooks. The digital music and ipod phenomena bode well for what could happen with e-text publishing, with content and hardware easier to use just as new open standards are beginning to emerge. Mobile, portable, wireless, handheld, personal--these are the qualities readers want in their electronic devices, and this is what the market is finally delivering, both in all-in-one devices and in dedicated e-readers. Many workable and desirable hardware solutions now exist for taking advantage of electronic texts on the go. Ebooks are being read on ebook readers as well as on almost any other kind of electronic gadget. PodReader is an open source application that facilitates making electronic documents readable on an ipod. These are print books on iPods, not audio ebooks. Gaming devices, such as Sony's PlayStation Portable (with a relatively large 4" screen) and Nintendo's Gameboy, are also being used to read ebooks. In this article, the author looks at the latest ebook devices and what they mean for librarians.
