Best Ebook Reader Reviews!

By Phillip Freniere

Books have been around in their current form for a very long time and have, thus far, proved resistant to technological changes. The basic concept of a book today is very much the same as it was a hundred years ago. Now, however, it looks like technology may have eventually found a better format for enjoying the written word - or has it?

Are you most concerned with wireless capability? If you would like to have the ability to find and purchase books directly from your device, the Kindle family is for you! The Amazon Kindle 2 and DX are connected to Sprint's 3G wireless network which allows you to access the Amazon kindle store directly on your device. Where ever you have cell phone service, you can download books in under 60 seconds. And the best part, THERE IS NO MONTHLY FEES OR CONTRACTS! The Sony family of readers does not have this capability and must be plugged into your computer to download new books.

Will you be reading only books? Or will newspapers, blogs, and PDF's be a regular? The Kindle family has the widest selection of ebooks available, with over 275,000 titles and new ones being added every day. Also with the Kindle you have to opportunity to subscribe to your favorite newspapers and blogs. The Sony readers have more flexibility when it comes to non ebook formats, such as PDF, Microsoft Word documents, and other text formats. Although the brand new Kindle DX now has native PDF support. Whether you choose a Sony or a Kindle you will find the ebooks are much cheaper than their printed counterparts. New York Times Bestsellers start at $9.99 at the Kindle Store.

Amazon also offers your own Kindle book library. Every e-book you purchase from the Kindle Store would have a back up online at Amazon.com. This feature allows you make room for new electronic book titles in your wireless reading device. You can simply re-download your e-book that is available in your online library for free.

Another benefit is that many electronic book readers have back-lit screens which enable you to read comfortably when light levels are low - something which is obviously very difficult with the traditional book. Book titles can be purchased on-line and downloaded via a PC instantly. The Kindle book reader, developed by Amazon, allows you to download e-books and electronic versions of newspapers wirelessly, wherever you are, in an instant. Which means an end to queuing in book stores, or waiting for books to be delivered by post.
