Reading eBooks

A friend recently asked what I thought of eReaders and which one would i recommend?

The abridged version was that i had used both a Kindle and a Sony Portable Reader and that i had found both very clunky and neither offered a good user experience. Nothing was being offered up to enhance the experience that so many people love of reading a good book.

My friend was disappointed, he thought he had found the amazing elusive birthday present he always failed to buy his wife for her birthday.
I told him to hang tight, the iPad is going to change the face of the eReaders. Granted it's four times the price but the user experience is slick, Apple have nailed the 'touch' interaction with the iPhone and the iPod Touch devices.

In the mean time if you want to spend £100 on an eReader in an attempt to engage hard to reach learners in reading then the following resource is a good starting point to device which is the most appropriate device for yours or your learners needs. For those that can wait, at £430 the iPad is going to change the way we use the internet and (funds permitting) the way we teach in the classroom.
