Time For Another eBook Poll

Posted by Ed Hansberry in "CONTENT" @ 10:00 AM

It has been over 4 years since my last ebook poll and I thought I'd see if any trends are changing. Portable eBooks really launched on PDAs with Peanut Press in the late 90's (which became Palm Reader and is now eReader.com on PalmOS devices, then later on Windows CE based devices. MS got into it heavy with MS Reader, including it in the ROM of Pocket PCs beginning in 2000 and continuing for several versions. MS has seemingly backed away from it though. Amazon got out of ebooks for various platforms, though they recently launched their own platform called the Kindle. I personally find my enthusiasm for ebooks has waned of late. I still buy several ebooks a year, but honestly, when I want to sit down and read, I prefer paper. I like the way it smells and feels, especially in a good quality book. How about you?
