My Facebook Status ATM:
Been reflecting on my time on the web since 1996. Don’t know what I used to do with my evenings prior to this – well there was a fair bit of TV and a few other things. I am finding that I am not doing too much in depth reading, research and writing. Maybe this is something I need to monitor before some long term rot sets in.

Hi all,
I have been keeping and eye on the implications of this
Boston article for a number of years when Sony Reader and Kindle started up.
I think Macquarie University has taken a step by step approach. The new library at that is being built has no books ( well very few) on shelves for the students. They are brought up from the depths on a conveyor belt upon request.
Here is a little little collection of links I have on eBooks and eReaders that I just grabbed from my Delicious:
In sum - Australia has a few online transfer issues before eBooks can become more mainstream in our libraries. I can envisage in a few years students reading articles and newspapers this way in the Libraries.
