I am completely new to the e-reader concept, so I have questions.

1. Is there a universal name? Is E-Reader a brand name or a device description?

2. Is there a preferred format?

3. Is there free out of print downloads? (like from a library or Google)

4. Are the reading programs interchangeable with any laptop software?

5. If I already own the book, do I still have to pay for the e-version?

6. Who supports new printed material? Publishers or book stores?

7. Will the e-readers put book stores out of business?


Thanks in advance.
