The number of users of e-books and e-textbooks is increasing at a rapid rate on many college campuses. The number of vendors producing e-reader devices is also growing at a steady rate. This session will present the current state-of-the-art of these technologies and will present the findings of a pilot deployment of these technology innovations to over 200 college students. The pilot includes analysis of user satisfaction, costs and the overall efficiency of content delivery to students in the university environment.
