Library audiobooks and e-books: Written up in Reuters article

By David Rothman

Congrats to TeleBlog contributor Jeff Scott and other librarians in the Phoenix area.

Reuters highlights the area’s extensive collection of audiobooks and e-books and also includes some tips for users in other locations.

See an earlier how-to article and accompanying video that Jeff made for PRS-505 owners with PDF books available at their local libraries.

Thought: I’d be curious to hear from librarians on the kinds of e-gizmos they’re loaning out these days, be they MP3 players, Sony Readers or Kindles. And is it possible that Friends of Library-related organizations can team up with geeks to sell and support e-book-capable gadgets? Is this even happening already in some locations?
