The Kindle
“I see it as an update, not simply of the book, but of the library,” says Edwards, who has a set of five Kindles in his classroom at Fishers High School, in Fishers, Indiana. Reading devices turn into book collections: they can hold up to 1,500 digital books. "With access to the vast bookshelf of titles, teachers could tempt reluctant readers with high-interest magazines and nonfiction, or they could feed their voracious readers with popular series." Kindle's Text-to-Speech function can be used by ELL students and students with visual barriers

Alternatives to the Kindle are iPad and the Hand-Held that have more functions than being just e-readers.
