Ebook Device Reviews

An ebook device is a great way to carry around all your favorite books (or those necessary for your job) without breaking your back. All the readers featured on this page will allow you to wirelessly download books which means you can browse online rather than going to the bookstore. Although some of the readers featured below cost upwards of $300, they are very cost-effective because ebooks are cheaper than their paper versions. They're also good for the environment because they don't use paper or ink or the other natural resources that are required to print a book. Perhaps best of all, you can beginning reading your books immediately after purchase, rather than having to wait a week for it to be shipped to you in the mail.

Kindle

Among ebook devices, the Amazon Kindle could easily be considered the cream of the crop. The thing I liked most about this reader is that the screen has a sharp, high resolution screen that reads and looks like paper and significantly cuts down on eye strain. (If you have written a book and want to know how to make it available on the Kindle, click on the link). The reader is wireless which means you can download your purchases in less than a minute. Additonally you can download newspapers like the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and magazines like Time, Atlantic Monthly and more. As of this writing there are a plethora of best selling books and books by independent publishers available for purchase from the Amazon Kindle store. Most books cost $9.99 or less, a better deal than you'd get on the print version from Costco. Since the reader holds about 200 titles, you can easily carry around your favorite reading material (or reference materials for work) without feeling like a pack mule.
