Government are obliged to use open standards, hence anything but a kindle, my sister has a nook and loves it, so what format do they read?
As said in the reply above yours "you'll need to have an ereader that uses .epub books, which is basically anything except a Kindle." So that includes a Nook.
I have downloaded and installed Amazon Kindle and several other e book readers. I am 72, cannot read much without reading glasses, but I can read from this very well. The beauty of the tablet is also that I have a mini PC, music and video player, emails and a browser. There are of course, much better-featured tablets, which are more expensive.
My wife has an original Kindle and we both have our own Amazon account. She also has a laptop and I have the desktop PC that I am using for this reply. We both have a smartphone and have Kindle on all of these. We installed Kindle for PC on the laptop and desktop, which means we just decide which device on which to download books, then read them from any of those.
The 5.5" phone screen is no good for me as a Reader, but the 8" tablet is perfect.
Just Google "e book readers" and find lots of them. And now Google has developed its own e book reader: http://www.gbooksdownloader.com/
I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.
