A Guide To The Best eBook Readers

There are a lot of things to consider with ebook readers, e.g. screen size, screen type (E-Ink or LCD), dedicated content service and, of course, pricing.

At the low end
The Kindle 3 is currently one of the cheapest ebook readers out there and definitively the most popular. The Kindle Store offers the best dedicated service for ebooks and since a lot of people already have an Amazon account there is no hassle to find good books. The screen size of six inches makes it very handy and the battery can last for a month easily due to its high contrast E-Ink, which makes one feel like reading a real book.

At the high end
The Sony Reader is twice the cost of the Kindle but it offers removable memory up to 32 Gigabytes, a huge improvement on the 4 Gigabytes of the Kindle. This reader is also available with a touch screen.

Color ebook readers
E-Ink is always black and white but if color is very important for you than the Barnes and Noble Nook Color is pretty much the only option, however, due to an LCD screen it is not as easy on the eyes if used for longer periods. The cheaper Pandigital Novel may be another way to go for a color reader if money is an issue.

Conclusion
Ebook readers are a very fast growing market but right now. Sony, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon are the three major companies and the final choice depends on what is important to the customer. Only the Kindle offers a quality, Text-to-Speech setting, while the others feature additional memory. The most important thing, however, is the feel of it and that is something everybody has to find out for themselves as critics differ in this point.
