Abstract

As part of a year­long study of personal eReader adoption, we gave eReaders (Kobo, Kindle, Nook, Sony) to 30 OSU Libraries staff members and checked back one month later. What did they do with their new eReaders? What were they reading (or not)? Where did problems occur? Get answers to these questions and more as we discuss the initial study results and find out which readers are nearing adoption, being rooted or getting left behind.
