Ahem. Books? Are NOT compatible with all hands/eyes. Accessibility issues in terms of changing text size, changing font, changing page color and text color, having a screenreader incorporated and having images described are some of the REALLY SERIOUSLY VALID points That I’ve heard made concerning E readers and their advantages.
