device that is functioned initially for the reason of reading digital books and periodicals and uses e-ink
technology to display content to readers. The main advantages of these devices are portability, readability
of their screens in bright sunlight, and long battery life. Any Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) able to show
text on a screen is also able of being an e-book reader, and not have the positives that an electronic ink
display has.Why Should You Buy an eBook Reader?

eBook Readers: What to Look For
Most people only know Kindle. But there is a variety of eBook readers available, some with other features
that may be more attractive than the Kindle. Here are the factors we considered to effectively compare
these electronic books.
Design
From touchscreens to LED backlights to the Read to Me feature on the Kindle 2, there are a lot of
features that will help your reader disappear so it’s just you and the text. Features like the touchscreen,
screen size and type and the wireless capabilities were given more weight.
Content
Some of the eReaders have hundreds of thousands of titles available from a dedicated service while
others can support a few files found on the internet. We rated the number of content available for the
device and how many different types of book files each device can support.
Memory/Battery Life
The life of your eReader is crucial. Nobody wants their reading device to run out of power before the
climax of their novel. The number of pages that can be turned on a single charge and the amount of
memory available for storing books makes the eReader experience more enjoyable.
Additional Features
There is always room for features while enjoying to a book. Some of these include the number of
grayscale levels, audio formats, image formats, text-to-speech feature and so much more.
The best eBook readers will have a good combination of each of these features and will disappear as you
read, just like a normal book would. Take a look at our top three ranked products the Kindle 3, Kindle DX
and the BeBook Neo.Kindle vs Nook vs Sony Reader: Ebook Readers With Wireless Access.By Best-
eReaders, May 02, 2010
An excellent eReader is one that has the both of the most essential functions relevant to reading. Both
actual user and professional ebook reader reviews would agree on this.- One, it should be able to give
you a good reading experience, which means the screen should be as readable as real paper and should
have battery life long enough to let you finish a novel.- Two, eReaders should be able to get you books
with ease. You should also have a good range of content to access.In the first case, eInk readers are the
same in terms of readability, as they all offer the same glare-less screen and power efficiency. Some of
the differences in readability will defined by, among others, screen size and speed of page refresh.In the
second case, current eReaders greatly differ as only a few eReaders have wireless capability, web
browser, and built-in bookstoreHow essential is wireless capability to eReaders?
1. Quick access to a bookstore for shopping and browsing
2. Quick access to reference, such as Wikepedia
3. Wireless book downloads
4. Get content to your device without connecting to a PC
The Big 3: A Listing of Wireless DifferencesThe Nook has recently released an update that greatly
improves its web browsing capability and Amazon has added social networking to the Kindle, it’s a great
time to review the wireless access and browser capabilities of eReaders.eReaders use either or both of
the two types of wireless access: The main advantage of 3G access is it enables you to connect to the
Internet almost anywhere. WiFi access, on the other hand, works only when you are in a place with a WiFi
network. Although WiFi limits you to local areas only, it works faster than 3G access for web browsing.
1. Amazon Kindle 2 (3G access)
You get “almost-anywhere” web-browsing and wireless downloads, whether you’re in
Mexico or in the US, at the back of a taxi or on your bed. Kindle 2 Kindle 3G + WiFi has two versions
available: a US version and an International version. If you bought a US version and you travel abroad,
you can activate your cellular wireless browsing at no added cost. However, you switch from Sprint in the
US to AT&T when abroad. Some countries also cannot deliver wireless downloads or web browsing.
Regardless of where you use the 3G access, you’ll never receive a bill for the service.The 3G access
brings you to the Amazon Store, Wikepedia, and text –based sites like the NY Times. 3G also
synchronizes your book reads with other devices like PC or Mac, and updates blogs you have subscribed
to.Recently, Amazon announced a new social networking capability will be available to Kindle users in
May. The new feature will allow you to share highlights via Facebook or Twitter, as well as see most
highlighted books. Book owners can see what other people like most about the book they are reading, as
well as see which books are the most highlighted ones.
2. Sony Daily Edition (3G access)
Like the Kindle, the Sony Daily Edition connects you to the Sony Store without added cost. You can also
download wirelessly from your device. The main difference is that you can’t use the wireless access when
traveling abroad.
3. Barnes & Noble Nook (3G + WiFi)
Nook has been given a web-browser upgrade. The new web browser allows you to access news, the
Yahoo Mail, and surf the web. You can also read a book for an hour each day free of charge when inside
a Barnes & Noble store. The browser works only over a WiFi network, although the Nook also has 3G
access which you can switch to when not in a WiFi hotspot. To “Goto” a webpage, you
have to use the bottom LCD panel.Even before the upgrade, the Nook already had certain advantages
over the Kindle such as the capability to share books with friends (LendMe) and accessing library books.
The Nook can also be used to shop, buy, and download books from Barnes & Noble.The Bottom
LineAmong the Big 3 eReaders, the Nook, in my opinion, offers the best uses for its wireless capability.
Nonetheless, all eReaders still have plenty of room to grow. Sony has a lot of catching up to do, or we will
soon be talking about Big 2 eReaders only.
