France: Digital Reading Museum

The new museum will explore the history of reading devices.


Le Petit Musée de la lecture numérique is a collaborative project funded by the industry and individuals from around the world.  The museum aims to celebrate the tools that have enabled people to access digitised content.

Computers, ereaders and other devices will be freely available in the museum.  For its launch, the museum is focusing on e-readers that use e-ink technology.  Donations of devices are welcomed as the museum wishes to gather together as many reading devices as possible.
