Read in a paperless world


e-books and e-zines, e-bookstores and iLibraries… yes, the digital era has transformed the way we read. Geeta Padmanabhan tells us how

Sounds oxymoronic, but it has happened. Texas has announced the opening of the world's first “bookless library”. Under project BiblioTech, the Bexar County-Texas public digital library will issue 100 e-readers on loan, let you browse, read and study on dozens of PCs. If you don't want to stir out in the Texas summer, you can access some 10,000 digital titles from home. In a county that has neither a bookstore nor a public library, digital books will reach 1.7m people.
