eBook readers have revolutionized the way consumers collect and view books, magazines and news. In this report I assess the top ebook readers existing on the market today.
There are many criteria shoppers should consider when you review ebook readers. Amid the top features to consider are screen size, screen type, battery life, recharge time, amount of storage, weight, device size, wireless capabilities, and file formats recognized.
In my reviews, I include the Amazon Kindle 2 and Kindle DX, the Barnes and Noble Nook, Sony's Reader Touch PRS-600 and PRS-700, and Astak's EZ Readers. There are numerous others, and we will assess those in due time, but my purpose is to show the reader a little representation with an explanation of feature comparisons so that they can hit the market armed with some essential knowledge about ebook readers.
In my appraisal, characteristics like the touchscreen, screen size and type and wireless capabilities should be your first consideration when looking at eBook reader models. The next thing to consider is the notion that some of the eBook readers have hundreds of thousands of titles out there while other readers can only read a a small number of titles. If the above criteria meet with your satisfaction, then you should finally mull over price and support.
The Kindle and Sony offerings are placed very well by many online sources. The combination of features on these models in addition to the reasonable price point makes them winning models. All readers feature the E-Ink screen. Only the Kindle and a single Atsak model boast "text-to-speech" to allow the device to read to you. The Sony models boast a touch screen for a better interactive user experience. All models boast a robust almost 2 week battery life with various charging times, but most are near 3 or 4 hours. There are small variances in the file formats that each ebook model will handle.
