The PALs (PERSONAL AREA LIBRARIES)<\/strong><\/h3>\nFinally, we came to the concept developing phase of our project, in which we defined two new concepts, one of which was the PALs (Personal Area Libraries).<\/p>\n
The reading material is carried by a scrollable\u00a0 eReader and this content becomes a \u201cfinger print\u201d of the interests of the user. The eReader acts both as a display for the content and as a \u201cPersonal Area Library\u201d (PAL), but PAL\u2019s can also be location specific, for example a university library or a bookstore.
\nWhen two PAL\u2019s come in reach of each other, they offer each other content which is deemed relevant or of interest to each of them by using the \u201cfinger print\u201d as a guideline.<\/p>\n
The reading material becomes more valuable to the user as it acts as a reflection of his interests which can then be used to acquire more material of his liking.<\/p>\n
