Best Ebook Reader Reviews!

By Phillip Freniere

Many wireless electronic book reading device are fast emerging and among the leading brand is the Amazon Kindle. Amazon's first wireless reading device was released in 2007, and for a few months after its release, Kindle was sold out in the US until April of 2008. All of Amazon's e-book readers use an electronic ink paper display that provides the same appearance and readability as your typical newsprint - allowing its users to feel the same comfort and ease.

One of the things that separates Amazon's Kindle from other electronic book device is that it uses its own wireless network - Amazon Whispernet. This optimized technology allows Kindle users to download e-book content wirelessly. Amazon Whispernet uses what is called the Sprint network which is being used by most up-to-date mobile phones. What is great is that most books and other reading materials can be delivered to you in less than a minute; however download times can vary depending on the file size. The best part about this cutting edge technology is that it you do not get charged for monthly bills -you can simply browse through its more than 300,000 available book titles, purchase the e-book you like, and then you are able to read and enjoy your chosen book it in less than a minute. That is amazing.

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. - 2364
