Abstract	Presentation at the Hawai'i Library Association Conference, December 5, 2011, Honolulu, Hawai'i. iPads, smart phones, and e-readers have revolutionized reading, or have they? Preliminary findings from a current study of e-reader adoption among Oregon State Universitiy librarians show that reading has changed, but not in expected ways. What we use to read depends on content, context and convenience; the chosen mode may even be for no particular reason. We will situate our presentation in the broader issues and questions about changing reading practices and the adoption of reading devices. We will encourage audience feedback about their own e-reading habits as we consider whether technology shapes reading or if reading drives our choice of technology. Keywords: reading, eReading, eReaders
