From the Editor: Electronic books, or e-books, promise to bring the blind community equal access to reading matter for the first time in history. Yet, in many cases, a gap yawns between promise and reality. In this article, Amy Mason treats us to a hard-hitting evaluation of the e-book readers currently on the market.

Among her many responsibilities, she staffs the International Braille and Technology Center for the Blind. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
