Lora has written a review of Microsoft Reader for Tablet PCs on Tablet PC Post.

Tablet PCs have allowed a renewed level of acceptance in eBooks. You can read from your digital library while at your desk, in the airport, or lounging in bed.

If you are a muggle who is not familiar with these kid, code words, she is referring to the self-initiative by students in the latest Harry Potter novel.

The review continues for several more pages. Continue reading
