Exciting New Ebook Readers

Ebooks are cheaper to read then books which explains the popularity of those electronic ebook reader. Nowadays you can get all kinds of gadgets to enhance your experience of using them.
First let’s talk about one of the must-have highly rated eBook readers. In August Sony came out with an eBook reader called the Touch Edition which is a hybrid of the company– the PRS-300 and the PRS-600. It has a very flat screen and totally relies on touch input. It’s aluminum, comes in red and black and with a sleeve. No software comes with it if you buy it so it is not a great deal in that regard but it is one of the nicer, plainer readers to look at. The best thing about it is that it is compact and that it fits easily in a purse.
Oprah Winfrey is a big fan of the Kindle 2 wireless reading device and featured it on her show. The Kindle 2 is approximately the same width as the original device, but is slightly longer. The display is the same size and resolution, but is capable of producing sixteen shades of gray instead of only four shades. It also comes with headphones and a small QUERTY keyboard with rounded keys. However you will mostly be using the tiny joystick on the device to open, operate and turn pages on the electronic books you read with the device. You can also sync this book with materials you download from your iPod.
The great thing about this Amazon device is how easy it is to buy books with it! You can purchase books directly on the device or get a free sample first with an option to buy the whole book once you finish reading it. Prices are actually a lot better than I remember them being with the Sony Reader. You can even find free books to download through the online store. Amazon knows what it’s doing with the instant gratification aspect of their store. When you click Buy, you don’t have to go through the pain of signing on, giving your credit card number or anything. It uses your Amazon account and the payment method already setup there. It’s easy, it’s fast, and it’s addictive. Even with my slow connection, I could buy a book and have it ready to read in a couple minutes.
