Teacher librarians and school staff in general are noticing a shift in focus from traditional printed books towards electronic books and electronic readers. These digital mediums provide readers with increased interaction and manipulation of the text through their many features and functions. Teacher librarians are interested in the impact of these products upon students’ reading engagement.
This is a topic that interests me as I am an owner of an Ereader and as yet there has been little study undertaken on the effects of Ebooks on Australian students. To assist students with their motivation to read more, school teachers need new and dynamic ways to encourage reading and make it fun It would be interesting for a study to be carried out on whether Ebooks could be used as a motivational tool for reluctant readers.
