Week 11 E-books

I can see e-books being very effective especially with regard to textbooks where you can easily search on screen for specific areas of interest. The Gutenberg Project is a great undertaking especially as a lot of texts go out of print. I did look into the audio books at my local library (Port Phillip) - The title Jane Eyre comprised 16 compact discs that approximated to 20 hours of listening time. I must admit though that the tactile reality of the book you can snuggle up to read in bed will always be my preference.
