Interested in a portable electronic book reader?

Last week my AT colleague Estela Landeros-Dugourd (VDOE Training and Technical Assistance Center at George Mason University) estellaWEB.jpg shared a plethora of e-book readers at the AT and reading conferences. I was impressed with how quickly technology innovations have created these portable and fully functioning tools. For example, the Kindle from Amazon.com provides an electronic book reader that can offer this on-the-go assistance with many of their online books. Other readers such as the Bookeen and the Iliad estellaWEB2.jpg add additional features for reading electronic books, subscriptions to newspapers, and the ability to write with a stylus. For more information, potential users might consider reviewing information at:
