A New reader and a Partial list of ETextbook vendors

This morning in the morning mail was another book seller pffering their version of e book reader.
Barnes & Noble [BarnesandNobleEmail@email.bn.com]
It is a name you know but they are now getting in to the market with the "Nano"
I did not realize how many readers there are. The bad thing is I did not touch the download readers for computers. There are equally as many of those programs .

Apps for I phones have a number of applications in which you can download books directly to your I-phone. This requires 3G contectivity. My "anceint" Motorola will not do it.

Here is the link to the vendors for E-Textbooks
