It is an unspoken rule of military procurement that any IT or communications technology will invariably be years behind what is commercially available or technically hobbled to ensure security. One case in point is the uncomfortably backronymed NeRD, or Navy e-Reader Device, an electronic book so secure the 300 titles it holds can never be updated. Ever…
I wonder how it was decided that 300 books were all a person ever needed.

The military e-reader is merely a manual. If the owner wishes to read something other than a manual, a standard e-reader will do.

But will the soldiers be allowed to have regular e-readers?
