Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst at Forrester
Research<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/forrester-re=

Cambridge, Mass., said that the enTourage device was part of the next
generation of e-readers, which would be hybrids. =93They won=92t just be a
netbook or a tablet or an e-reader,=94 Ms. Epps said, =93but a combination =
that
will bend the categories consumers expect from electronics.=94
E-textbooks have special requirements that can be addressed by hybrids like
the eDGe, she explained. =93The devices have to render graphics faithfully,
ideally with color,=94 she said, =93and students should have the ability to=
take
extensive notes and share them,=94 as well as have access to whatever
interactive elements publishers provide.
Until such features come to market, Ms. Epps said, =93electronic book reade=
rs
are great for reading novels, but they aren=92t right for textbooks.=94
