This article describes what happened when 49 preservice teachers participated in an e‐book reading experience in order to prepare them to teach with e‐books in K‐12 classrooms. In addition to examining the preservice teachers' digital reading behaviors and dispositions, this manuscript also examines reader factors and text factors of digital texts and their impact on comprehension; how K‐12 students and teachers utilize e‐books in today's classrooms; trends in e‐book technologies; and the reasons why new literacies in general, and e‐books in particular, should become part of a balanced literacy approach.
