The Ebook readers industry is slowly evolving and every few months a newer and better ereader comes out on the market. My goal here is to introduce the three leading ereader vendors on the market. Stick to these ebook readers and you really can't go wrong.
Surly one might be better than the other but at the end of the day it's going to be personal preference and look and feel which is going to make the difference. With that said, you do want to stay away from the garbage products and stick to the really high quality ones. So let's begin (attention: the listing is not by order of quality or recommendation).
BARNES AND NOBLE APPLETON WI
Ereader number 1: Amazon Kindle 2
Although Amazon also has the Kindle DX I'm going to stick to the Kindle 2 which provides the needs of most readers and is in the same price range of the other two. The Kindle 2 is 6" screen with a keyboard and a battery life of 14 days. It supports wireless 3G technology which means anywhere in the USA (and now also abroad for an extra fee) you can download e-books to your device. The Amazon store currently offers 600,000 titles. It's fast, reliable and very user friendly.
Ereader number 2: Barnes & Noble Nook
The Nook also has a 6" screen but a battery life of only 10 days. Here too you will have the 3G wireless support with the addition of Wi-Fi for browsing while visiting Barnes & Noble book store. BN currently offer 1,000,000 titles in their ebook store. The Nook has a touch screen which many people like over the keyboard, but be warned the interface isn't so user friendly and the device is still pretty slow compared to other ereaders on the market.
Ereader number 3: Sony Digital Reader Daily Edition
The Sony reader has a 7" touch screen with a battery life of 18 days. It has a slick look and makes it very easy for the user to navigate around. Also uses the 3G technology for wireless download and browsing. The Sony ereader supports the ePub format for its ebooks, which means you have access to Google's 1,000,000 books and any other source which has the ePub Standard.
