We love E-Readers but we also love printed books

A recent article published on The Conservation website mentions that we love to buy e-readers but we also love to read printed books?

Something isn't right when I made that remark. We should love one or the other in this day and age. Right?

I have noticed how hard it is to get some best sellers or popular reads in an E-Book format and that is a concern because it is denying those who want to read an E-format the chance to read their favourite book on a format that suits them. There are some who prefer the printed version, but cannot obtain a printed copy and hence want an E-Book.

But I did notice one thing missing in the article and I think it answers the question as to why we love printed books - the tactile experience of reading a book and mentally the connection one has when a printed copy in their hands.

Ipad App Evaluation (Kathy Schrock)

Last year, I did an evaluation of an Ipad App as part of my ILE@RN with Mobile Devices - Ipad 2 course several months ago using an evaluation proforma created by Kathy Schrock.

It has been updated. You can now evaluate how the app helps meet educational outcomes in your state or area (NSW BOSTES, National Curriculum etc).
