It argues that an e-reader can suit both new readers and people who find printed books cumbersome, while still allowing access to library e-books through apps such as Libby.

It also points to carrying accessories, ways to decorate books or e-readers, illustrated editions, box sets and book subscriptions for people whose reading tastes are difficult to predict.
