With So Many Choices, How Do You Choose An Ebook Reader?

December 13th, 2009

Nowadays, almost everything in this world relies on digital technology, even reading. If you are still into buying books and you would like them to travel with you, hauling them around would not be that easy. But, if you have your own electronic book reader, bring books anytime, anywhere would be possible. You can even bring thousands of books with you if you want to. This time around, you can enjoy reading books wherever you are and whenever you want to. However, the challenge here is to find the right ebook reader that would meet your needs. You definitely would like to find the right one because you don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on one that doesn’t meet your needs.

If you’re looking for the cheapest price for an ebook reader, you won’t find one that only costs a hundred bucks or so. You would need to spend a little over 200 dollars. With this amount, you’ll be able to buy a typical ereader which has the basic features. However, this price may not be enough to get one that has a longer battery life and you probably might have to get a more advanced model. For better options, you may have to spend about 500 dollars. One of the advanced models that you may come across is the Kindle DX, which has some of the best features in an e-reader. The more you pay for the device the better features you get. Another high-end alternative that has a lot of add-ons packed in is the Flepia which may costs more than 1000 dollars.

Whether you spend 200 dollars or five times that, the important thing is you get the ebook device with the features you need. Otherwise, it would all be a big waste of money. A battery that lasts long and a screen that’s easy on your eyes are some of the basic things that you would want to look into. If possible, try using the device before making the purchase. Even the most pricey ebook readers may not be the perfect fit for you.

More often, what is left unnoticed when it comes to its features is the reader’s file compatibility. For example, not all readers are capable of reading PDF files, which is one of the most popular file format nowadays. This would then limit the libraries that you may get your ebooks from. If you opt to use Sony readers, they would have a library which has about a hundred thousand books, while Amazon’s Kindle would allow you to gain access to over 250,000 books.

It doesn’t have to be a difficult process to choose an ereader, you just have to know what to look for. Getting the most expensive model may not be the  wisest choice for you. While the Flepia may come with a really nice touch screen, can you really justify spending about 1,000 dollars for it? That is a question that only  you can answer. No one can make the decision about which one is correct for you except for you. Don’t just look for the one with the most features, the best ebook reader is the one that suits your needs without  breaking your budget

Things to Consider When Choosing an E-book Reader

September 30th, 2009

Before you buy an e-reader, there are considerations to be factored in. It’s important to feel that you’re getting a good value for the money that you spend. First, budget considerations must be assessed. You can purchase an inexensive ebook reader that offers just the basics or a more expensive model that comes with more functions. No matter your budget, be prepared to shell out at least $200 for a good unit.

Next, identify the type of features you desire. Because you can find both user reviews and detailed product specs for every available model, you should be able to find the best ebook reader for you. Even better, ask around among family, friends, co-workers, etc. who have ebook readers of their own. A few design elements you may look for are a comfortable keyboard, a sharp and clear reading screen, and a thin, low-weight device. It’s nice get a handle on what selection of electronic books (and in what formats) you can get from the manufacturer’s online store.

Third, ask about the availability of customer service. It’s nice to know that there will be someone to help, should you need it. Ultimately it is always your own personal preferences and usage plans on which your choice of the best ebook reader will lie. You’ll be able to find what you want from an ereader among the many options available on the market!

Top E-Book Readers

Two major manufacturers basically have the digital book reader market sown up. The Kindle DX, released to the market by Amazon in May 2009, is quickly increasing its market share and threatening to overtake the current market leader, which is Amazon’s Kindle 2, just a few months older than the DX. The PRS-505 from Sony follows as a close second in the e-reader market. Additional, though lesser known, models include iLiad, the Gen3 from Cybook, and BeBook.

As far as gadgets go, e-book readers may be the most revolutionary and useful product you’ll get in your reading lifetime. All the knowledge and entertainment in the world can be in the palm of your hand for the price of a few hundred dollars!
