Very difficult to comment on this learning step as I was unable to access any of the ebooks in the Learning 2.0 program (World eBook Fair site), as there was a charge/password associated with all I tried - unable to locate any free downloads.
However, I did get a sense of how an eBook would work through the tutorial in Netlibrary and could see that there could be quite a demand for them, particularly with non fiction titles.
I believe that the key thing is to offer the option of the traditional physical book, along with providing access to various virtual tools, which include eBooks and other online databases/resources, and then letting the borrower choose what format they wish to access the information from/in.
It will be interesting to see how eBooks evolve with the introduction of the Amazon "Kindle" reading device in the last couple of weeks - will it make them more popular being portable ???
