As Liu has observed, several years ago mainland China, when weighing options for reducing the educational gap between country and city, was even then seriously looking at e-books. In the US and Europe, many university students are already using e-books instead of textbooks. If the government would provide encouragement, Taiwan's e-reader-related industries could, when the time comes, really take off.
劉思誠觀察，中國大陸在多年前思考如何縮短城鄉教育差距時，就已把電子書列入考量重點；在歐美也有大學生開始用電子書來取代書本，台灣若能有政策鼓勵，電子書閱讀器的相關產業也可以適時起飛。
