E-Readers and Libraries

The topic I chose was what impact e-readers will have on libraries. According to the blog submitted by Daniel Freeman, three points of view agree that e-readers are the wave of the future. Libraries should look into acquiring them. But, one major problem arises with circulating e-readers. There could be a legal issue as far as copying the same title multiple times. Some research has been done in this area, according to the blog posted by Tom Peters (www.alatechsource.org/blog/2010/08/seize-and-solve-this-challenge.html )
indicating that industry leaders need to help solve the problem of limiting title usage. Can they develop an e-reader specifically for library use? I feel that libraries need to keep up with technology as much as possible and it seems to me that e-readers are a technology that many people are turning to. I think we need to collaborate with industry leaders to work out these issues so we can make this technology available to our patrons.
