• Dr Stephen Bury, British Library's Head of
European and American Collections:
“This is not the end of the book as we know it. The
book in its physical form will remain important for
so many reasons, but the incredible versatility of
the new e-readers makes them perfect for
researchers, allowing easy access to a wealth of
information including previously rare and out of
print material. This exhibit gives our researchers a
chance to play around with some of the devices
currently available, and explore how they can be
used to complement existing printed collections in
the 21st century.”

British Library to lend e-book readers
"con l'adozione dell'e-book" si dà "una mano alle famiglie e
un sollievo agli studenti. Il libro in versione digitale
scaricabile da internet permetterà infatti ai genitori di
risparmiare limitando al massimo la spesa per i libri di testo, e
allo stesso tempo i ragazzi non saranno più costretti ad
andare a scuola caricando sulle spalle zainetti troppo
pesanti". …A partire dall'anno scolastico 2011-2012, il collegio
dei docenti adotta esclusivamente libri utilizzabili nelle
versioni on line scaricabili da internet o al massimo le
versioni "miste", quelle cioè che integrano sezioni digitali e
cartacee.
