In September, children at the Bi-Cultural Day School in Stamford, Connecticut, began participating in a pilot program by Sony to bring its Reader to classrooms.

The devices, provided by Sony, are uploaded with books from Sony's ebooks.connect.com. Included are classics such as Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. Now, instead of lugging around a pile of books, students carry only the slim Reader. Students can scroll through the menu on the Reader's six-inch screen and turn the pages of the books with the push of a button.
