One more year, one more CES trade show in Las Vegas. Except one particular announcement that made the rounds in the tech blogs, this year most announcements were lower key than in the past, possibly mirroring the shoe-string budget in R&D this past year.

What are eBook Readers Anyway?

Books definitely are great. But when you want to carry a bunch of them with you, that’s when you run into problems. Books get bulky and heavy. A lot of them are awkward to carry, to say the least.

So, what if you could carry dozens if not hundreds of books with you? And what if they could fit into something the size of a small hardcover, but lighter? That’s the promise an eBook reader delivers. While eBook readers are nothing new, they’ve really started to come into their own.
