Electronic Book Reader – Which One?
As a business owner, or even an avid book reader, you’re soon going to find out that you may want to read books on an e-reader, rather than do it the old fashioned way. While each way has it’s downsides and upsides, I’ll leave that up to you to decide.
I did some research on the e-readers that are out there and came up with my top list for you to weed through what best suits you.
- Amazon Kindle: When you think of an electronic book reader, you most likely will think of the Kindle. By reading reviews online, it seems as if just about every person that has purchased it has nothing but good things to say. It’s only 1/3 of an inch thick, weighs 10.2 ounces, and lets you download books wherever there’s a 3G wireless connection. There are no contracts, no fees, and it feels like you’re reading piece of paper!
- Barnes and Noble Nook: The nook is by far one of the most popular e-books out there, trailing the Amazon Kindle. This e-book makes reading easy on the eyes, with it’s E INK(r) display. There’s no glare, and no back light. You can adjust the text size, as well as read comfortably for hours! With over 2GB of memory, you can store up to 1,500 books, magazines, as well as newspapers.
- Sony Digital Reader: This pocket electronic book reader is made by Sony and while it’s the cheapest on the market, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to get what you pay for. It displays everything from PDFs, RTF, as well as any Microsoft Office Word files. While the memory is low at 512MB, it can hold up to 350 eBooks.
- Ectaco jetBook Lite: While I’ve never heard of this particular product, I started doing some research online and had found that a lot of people actually enjoy this one. It’s by far the cheapest on the block, retailing at under $150 at Amazon. It supports everything from PDFs, JPGs, GIFs, as well as the DRM through Barnes and Noble. It has bookmarks, auto page turn functionality, and more.
Electronic book readers are a great way to view PDF documents, explore books, read the paper, and so much more. Instead of carrying around 800 books, why not condense it all into one? It’s great for organizational purposes and you’re going to find that you will enjoy it a lot more than you think!
