A Software E-Book
ThoutReader is used to read e-books in Osoft's open format. Note the two "+" icons (upper right). Found on every page, they allow notes to be distributed from professors to students, from group leaders to team members as well as from any reader of the book to all others via Osoft's servers. Osoft is the first e-book vendor to support the OpenReader format. For more information, visit www.osoft.com.

A Specialized E-Book
The Rocket eBook was one of the first handheld e-books. Introduced by NuvoMedia in 1998, other models followed, including one with a larger color screen. However, due to the many PDAs and e-book formats that followed, Gemstar, which acquired NuvoMedia in 2000, discontinued the devices in 2003. (Image courtesy of Gemstar TV Guide International.)
