What is an e-reader? An e-reader is a small computer. It can hold thousands of e-books. So people want to throw away heavy schoolbags and read with small, light e-readers. For example, a US high school has put its paper books away. Teachers and students are using e-readers now. "It's so convenient. You can have so many books right at your fingertips." said Meghan Chenausky,16. Chinese schoolchildren are also trying e-readers. Hanvon WISEreader is the most popular e-reader in China. It weighs about 260g and is as big as a regular textbook. It is a special e-reader. Students can make notes on it. They can use it to download textbooks from school computers. It can also send and receive homework. New e-readers are not just for reading. They have WI-FI (无线网络) and multimedia (多媒体). Parents think these may hurt children's study habits." I think WI-FI is not necessary for kids." says Zeng Wenwen, 43, Beijing. |
