The EBook Readers Guide

The eBook Readers Guide provides an in sight into this latest phenomenon, by giving you a brief history with omparisons and specifications of the latest models. Electronic reading devices are not new. They have been around since the 1990’s. Because of the constant influx of technology various companies back then produced quite a number of different models using a variety of file formats. This created confusion in an as yet unestablished market.

At the time computers were in demand. Cell phones and PDA’s were gaining in popularity. Very few people knew what an ebook (short for electronic book) was. The different formats denied the market of establishing brand loyalty. One could find a specific article or book in one format but would have to get another Ebook Reader for another article or book. Hence belieing the uefulness of this new product. After all, wouldn’t carrying around a number of different readers be the same as carrying around a number of different books? And books were cheaper.

Another problem was the technology behind the product. Reading from these machines was difficult. It was like reading from a computer screen. It is very draining on the eyes and tiresome as a whole to read an entire book from a glowing display screen.

Well all that has changed. The new evolution of readers is here. Providing the market with an ever expanding multitude of reading materials in a condensed variety of formats. Reading from these new eBook Readers is almost like reading a page from a book with the evolution of ePaper and eInk.

The two most popular models are the Sony PR-700 Digital eBook Reader and the Amazon Kindle now with a newer version the Kindle 2. There are quite a number of other models and this Guide will try to provide as much information as possible on all of them.
