eBook Readers


eBook Readers are becoming a popular alternative to carrying a bundle of books on trips and work assignments.

eBooktoday.co.uk will have details on all the latest eBook readers from major retailers such as Sony and Amazon.

When Amazon released the Kindle in November 2007 it sold out in days. It has been estimated that the Kindle sold 240,000 units in 2008. Forecasts from Citibank for 2010 are that the eBook reader market could be worth $1.4B, which is a healthy growth rate.

There are now thousands of existing book titles, most new books being ebooks and countless free ebooks as well as magazines and online articles. Ebook readers are able to hold up to 200 books depending on the make and model. So there is now a great selection of content to suit all tastes. Google Books has over one million free books available to download.

Unlike trying to read on a PC or laptop, ebook readers use e-ink and different lighting to be more like electronic paper. Having a high resolution screen ensures that ebooks look and read like a real paper book. This technology ensures that eye-strain is minimized and that ebooks can be read in all conditions.

Most e-readers are lighter than a normal book and under normal conditions they have a battery life of over week. A number of different file formats are supported such as PDF and MS Word and many others. Using wireless connectivity, new titles can be downloaded in under a minute.

Please take time to review the ebook readers on this site and add your thoughts and comments.
