eBook readers have revolutionized the way consumers gather and view books, magazines and news. In this article I analyze the top ebook readers available on the market today.
There are many criteria shoppers should study when you review ebook readers. Among the top features to analyze are screen size, screen type, battery longevity, recharge time, amount of storage, weight, device size, wireless capabilities, and file types recognized.
In my analysis, 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 analyze those eventually, but my purpose is to grant the reader a little taste with an explanation of capability comparisons so that they can hit the market girded with some basic knowledge about ebook readers.
In my appraisal, capabilities like the touchscreen, screen size and form and wireless capabilities should be your primary thought when looking at eBook reader models. The next thing to study is the notion that some of the eBook readers have hundreds of thousands of titles out there while other readers can only support a a small number of books. If the above features meet with your satisfaction, then you should finally mull over price and technical support.
The Kindle and Sony offerings are placed very well by many online sources. The blend of qualities on these models and the moderate price point makes them attractive models. All readers feature the E-Ink screen. Only the Kindle and a single Atsak model boast "text-to-speech" to let the device to read to you. The Sony models have a touch screen for a more interactive user experience. All models feature a healthy approximately 2 week battery life with varied charging times, but most are close to 3 or 4 hours. There are small differences in the file formats that each ebook model can handle.
