Unbiased EBook Reader Device Reviews - My Cool-er EBook Reader Review

In light of the many ebook reader device price cuts that have taken place over the last few months, many of the older ebook reader reviews are out of date. Here's my updated Cool-er ebook reader review brought about not only because of differing prices but also because other changes in the market have left some ebook readers more exposed to the risk of becoming, at best, tied to one source of ebooks or even worse, totally obsolete.

The one biggest point to remember with ebook reader devices at this present time is the shift in the market place towards a publishing standard. It does seem a safe bet that this standard will become the ePub file format. It is starting to appear on more and more electronic books readers.

The big e-publishing houses, e-libraries and holders of public domain titles are moving or have moved to publishing in the ePub format. The likes of Barnes and Noble, Powells.com, Waterstones, The Sony Store and Libraries utilizing nascent e-book services have all expressed their willingness to embrace the ePub format.

With that out of the way let's bring smack up to date my Cool-er ebook reader review and have a look to see where it fits in to not just today's market but the market of the future.

The Cool-er has had no feature or specification updates since it's launch earlier this year, nor have I seen any talk of a price reduction at ebook reader reviews. This leaves it in the shadow of a lot of the newer ebook reader device models, in so much as it does not include a wireless connection capability. This said let's just concentrate on what the Cool-er is but bear in mind the price being asked. As "just" a book reader, the Cool-er stands up well.

The screen is of adequate proportions and does score well over many others courtesy of the fact it can be read in landscape as well as portrait mode. It uses the industry standard e-Ink technology, so is easily readable, with crisp, clear text image. The bright, funky colors still remind you very much of the ipod, and will appeal probably more to the younger generation than the 9-5ers.

It has 1gb of internal storage which, through the use of SD cards, can be expanded to infinity. And you might need to do that as the device DOES support both ePub and that other favorite for free stuff, Adobe PDF. Great news when you visit the massive virtual library at Coolerbooks.com, of the 750,000 titles on offer 500,000 are free for you to download, thrillers, fiction, bios, chicklet, kids titles, the whole ensemble.

So what conclusion can be drawn from this Cool-er ebook reader review? It is my opinion this is another of those smaller companies that will struggle to maintain the price they are asking for their ebook reader device. It still smacks one of those gimmicky, cheap Chinese imports that are purchased at Christmas as a "stocking filler" and has none of the build qualities of the better known models. Even though that's how I feel, it still has a place in the market, only not at the current price, which I believe to be 0. Put up the side of the Sony prs-300, which many ebook reader reviews are reporting to be selling as low as 5, it looks terribly over priced.

Why Should I Read Book Readers Reviews?

Are you seriously looking to buy an electronic book reader? Perhaps you have heard about this new kind of gadget already, but you are not sure if it would be good for you. An eBook reader's main purpose is to offer you a different kind of book reading experience. In other words, you do not have to carry a multitude of heavy paper books with you every day. With a book reader, your reading life will become extremely easy and convenient. There are many electronic book readers reviews on the Internet.

All of the reviews advise people on why one product is better than another one is. Seriously, you should learn how to identify helpful or meaningful content. How could you do it? First, you should know your needs. Perhaps you are an ardent reader, researcher, journalist, writer and so on. A person such as you needs facts, details or quick updates at all times. A book reading gadget would certainly help you get access to your collection of reading material or the web anywhere, any moment of the day or night.

Despite that, not just any e-reader gadget merits your time or money. Most helpful electronic book readers reviews should indicate or expose such useless devices. Luckily, if you deal with some popular websites, such as Amazon, you will find negative, positive or even neutral reviews. The negative ones indicate that many previous shoppers regret having wasted their time and money on a given reader. Positive indicates that several prior clients were happy with their gadgets. Neutral reviews signify that many users are not sure of their opinions. They are neither totally happy nor disappointed in the product.

Most Popular Electronic Book Readers Reviews Include:

• New Amazon Kindle

• Amazon Kindle DX

• Barnes & Noble Nook

• Sony PRS-350

As you look through various electronic book readers reviews, focus more on the functionality of the product. Of course, each manufacturer lists the product details and descriptions. In spite of everything, a prior user is the only one who could confirm if an electronic book reader is reliable or not. If you have done a thorough prior research or have seen a friend's e-reader, you already know that some have built-in 3 G wireless Internet.

When reading various posts, specifically focus on what others are saying about this Internet. Investigate if it is reliable or not. If this is your main interest, you can find only those reviews of gadgets that offer Wi-Fi plus 3G features. Another area you must focus on is the screen or display. Many new reading devices have E Ink Pearl Technology for enhancing contrast and appearance of images. Again, previous shoppers are the best sources of proof. Investigate their views for any item you want to order.

Read carefully so that you can find out what they are saying about screen quality. For instance, you will find that most manufacturers describe their products as anti-glare. By evaluating electronic book readers reviews, you want to discover if this is actually true or false. Without doubt, you have freedom to choose the kind of content your want to read. Any website that seems to post reviews just for the sake of making sales is not worth your time. Look for one that really aims to help new and experienced shoppers.

eBook Reader Reviews For The 2011 Shopping Season

So you been saving up money, so you can finally afford a top tier eBook reader; or maybe you are still undecided on which eBook reading device is the right choice for you. Maybe you have visited my website and after reading all the eBook reader reviews I have there, you are still undecided. To make things more complicated, you finally narrowed down the selections for you, however; you seen an ad for this year's CES(consumer electronics show) and with all the new ereaders coming to the market this holiday season, you feel like you don't want to be left behind so in your mind you are back to square one. Well in this article I will highlight some of the best eBook reader reviews of the new ereaders presented at this year's CES. I will also try and give you information that will help you decide on rather to go with a new to market eBook reading device or with an already established one. Surely we can assume that all the major players that are already established in the market place, will be either introducing new variations of their devices that are currently on the market, rolling out brand new devices such as the Kindle 4, or simply adding new features to their respective devices VIA software updates; like the Nook color did earlier this year, which successfully converted its full featured ereader into a hybrid, tablet type device.

If you read my eBook reader reviews, you know that even though it's a tad bit expensive, I still love and recommend the Nook Color. It is the perfect, affordable alternative to the Ipad and its ideal for serious readers like me who still would like to have fun with a tablet. This year's CES was a very unimpressive show as for as the ereader market goes, so there aren't many eBook reader reviews to compare. Only one brand new ereader stood out and that device is called the IRiver Story HD. The 6-inch ereading device touts a bodacious 1024x768 resolution, which contributes to an even better contrast ratio than any other reading device, currently on the market. Software optimizations make it, the fastest-refreshing device of its kind. The IRiver Story HD has a claimed three week battery life, built in wi-fi, and supports Adobe, ePub, and PDF formats with digital rights management. It also features 2 GB of onboard storage and a SDHC card-reading slot. Sun rays are absolutely no problem and I have to admit that on first sight, I thought the device had a sticker affixed to its front. It really is that impressive at reproducing printed materials. Physically, it seems as if they used the blueprint of the third generation Kindle to construct their device. Even though I'm not fond of copy cats, in this case it was a smart, safe, move on their part. When you read with this device in public, it definitely will spark conversations and make your friends jealous because of its unbelievable contrast ratio.

In my opinion, the IRiver Story HD is nothing more that a slightly upgraded, third generation Kindle. I wanted to write more eBook reader reviews as a result of this year's CES, however; the other ereaders were very unimpressive. So for the 2011 shopping season it seems that all the more popular eBook reader reviews you read in 2010 will be relevant for 2011 also. I expect the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes and Noble, Nook ereader to dominate the competition this year; especially since consumers usually flock to the more established brands during contentious economic times.
