So what do librarians, watchdogs of freedom to read and promoters of equal access to library materials, think about eBooks?

There is an eBook revolution going on and 2011 is supposed to be the Year of the eBook. Here is an interesting article on Library Journal and an educational video on a free digital library, by Librarian Brewster Kahle. I like his quote on universal access, "the best we have to offer within reach." I have not yet jumped on the band wagon to buy a Kindle or a Nook.
