Customer Reviews
By joseph872
This ereader is very good for the price. I bought it for my wife for Christmas and she loves it. I like the color display screen,the fact that you can use it with a wi-fi connection, you can insert your own SD card to expand on the 512mb of memory already on the reader. My wife loves to read and it turned out to be a great gift for her. I picked it up and started reading a book and i ended up buying one for myself. Now we sit and read together. From what i see you can buy the name brand ereaders(Kindle,Nook,...) or buy this one and save at least $70 bucks. Seems like you are paying for the name.You have acces to over 190 free books with this ereader. I strongly suggest it.

By Coach lover
I have both the Kindle which I absolutely love (gift from the hubby) and the Literati that I bought for my husband. The Literati has gotten a lot of bad reviews which I feel were unwarranted. It is a nice cheap
ereader with a colored screen for mags and newspapers. Kobo bookstore has a good amount of books and are pretty competitive with their prices. Yes Kindle is number one for the best ereader available, but if you like to read mags like PC, it is a nice way to do it. I would give it 5 stars, but Kindle has that.

How To Choose an eBook Reader

2011-03-10T21:57:00.000+07:00

If you're interested in buying an ebook reader, you might be a little overwhelmed by the choices that are now available and all of the technical information that is shown for each device. It's not very hard to understand once you know a little about the technology, and you can do all of the research you need just by reading the websites that sell the devices. In this article I will go over the basics of what you need to know.

When you're looking at a website that sells an ebook reader, you should find a section called "Technical Specifications," or Tech Specs for short. Some websites might have this under the regular product description instead of in its own section. It will list a lot of technical information, and I'll explain what it all means below. With this knowledge you can make an informed decision.

Price

When deciding which type of e-reader to purchase, price is an important part of the decision for most people. As of this writing, both the Amazon Kindle and the Kobo eReader are priced the lowest at $139 for the WiFi models.

Size and Weight

When you see these details in the product description, it's pretty self explanatory. The size will usually be listed as Height x Width x Thickness.

If this is important to you, you can compare this between different devices. Some people prefer smaller devices, and some prefer larger. Most ebook readers are pretty lightweight -- between around 5 to 20 ounces. A standard paperback book weighs in at somewhere around 10 ounces, so you can use that as a guide. Also, if you do a lot of travelling the weight of the device might make a difference in your luggage.

Screen Size and Type

A lot of the ereaders available today have 6 inch screens, and a few have 7 inch screens. The type of screen is more important to consider.

Devices like the Kindle, Kobo, Sony Reader, Nook, and BeBook have E-Ink screens. These screens are not back-lit like your computer screen. Instead, they have a matte finish that doesn't reflect light and reduces glare. E-Ink provides a reading experience that is very similar to reading from paper.

Devices like the Pandigital Novel, the Nook Color, and tablet computers like the iPad, have LCD screens. These are basically the same as your laptop screen or computer monitor. Since they display light, your eyes can grow tired more easily, and they also use significantly more battery power. These devices are also more than just ebook readers, and they tend to be more expensive.

File Types Supported

This is quite important because it determines the types of ebooks that you'll be able to read with the device. If you know that you want to be able to read PDF files, look for that in the list of supported file types. If you want to be able to buy current popular ebooks from ebook stores, you will need an e-reader that supports Adobe DRM. Look for that in the list as well. This is one case where it's better to buy an device that is more well-known. The more obscure the device, the less likely that you'll be able to get the content you want for it.

Some ebook readers can also play MP3 music. If that is important for you, check for that in the product details.

One important note: The Amazon Kindle will only read ebooks that are purchased at Amazon.com. If you want to be able to buy ebooks from other ebook stores, carefully consider this restriction.

Battery Life

The battery life for ebook readers is commonly shown as the number of page turns that can be performed during one charge. For example: if a website shows a battery life of 8000 page turns, and you figure that an average book might have 300 pages, that works out to over 25 books that you could read before you had to charge the battery again.

Memory

eBook readers come with on-board memory, which will be shown in MB (megabytes) or GB (gigabytes). Most also have "expandable" memory, which means that you can put in your own storage card for more storage space. The tech specs for each e-reader will specify how much storage comes with the e-reader itself, and how large of a memory card it can handle.

This is important because this is how your ebooks are stored on the device. The more memory, the more ebooks you can put on it. Most of these ebook readers can store thousands of books, which is likely to be more than you're ever going to own, so the difference between the e-readers becomes negligible unless this is really an issue for you.

Free Content

Some companies are bundling their ebook readers with free content. The Kobo eReader, for example, comes with 100 free classic ebooks pre-installed. If you have a Kindle you can download many free classic books on Amazon's website. Most other ebook readers will allow you to read just about any free PDF or EPUB file that you download online.

WiFi or 3G

Look out for the terms "WiFi" and "3G". If a company is giving you a choice between these two types of connectivity, the 3G option will be more expensive. WiFi lets you use your WiFi connection at home to download content directly to the device, without having to use your computer. Depending on the device, you might also be able to browse the internet. 3G is the same type of connection that your cell phone has, which means that you don't need to be on a WiFi network to download ebooks. Some e-readers do not have either of these capabilities.

Design

Finally, when making your choice between all of the available e-readers, you can consider the overall design of the device. The Sony Readers look more technological than the others, while the Kobo looks more friendly. The Nook has a rounder appearance, and the Kindle displays a full keyboard on the bottom. There is probably an ebook reader that has a design that fits your personality.

I hope that the information covered above will be enough to help anyone who is shopping for an ebook reading device. They are fun gadgets, and reading on them is a pleasurable experience. Good luck!

Augen 7-Inch E-Reader with Text-to-Speech

2011-01-02T21:14:00.000+07:00

"A Kindle clone with an LCD screen"

Augen 7-Inch E-Reader with Text-to-Speech has Vibrant COLOR screen, SD exandable slot, WI-FI, Note pad, Free Books, Web Browsing, Easy to use, Comes with a case, QWERTY keyboard that WORKS on the web, NO FLASHBACK when turning pages, FULL WEB (not stripped down like cell phones)

Exactly what I wanted...and more!

Keep in mind, I am not a techno-snob, nor am I a techno-idiot. I am somewhere in the middle of the pack, with a firm understanding of technology and exceedingly high expectations that a product deliver on its promises. That being said, I LOVE this eReader. It does exactly what is promises to do and does it in a manner that is super simple and very user friendly. I love this so much, I am buying one for my best friend as a birthday gift and likely for a few other people for Christmas.

This surfs the web using any Wi-Fi available, which is handy for me that I have a wireless network at home. It seemlessly downloads books of all formats. It plays music, video, pictures, and has a notepad on it.

I have not even dug into half of the features listed, but am enamored with this delightful little reader. The case is beautiful, slips nicely into my purse, and is easy to bring along to soccer practice or read quietly in bed while my husband sleeps.

A+++++ for this eReader :-)

By A. Jones "BargainShopperInWA"

A good e-reader, a useful tool other wise, too.

The reader has great battery life, a nice screen to read on, and it come with a good number of free books. The OS is clunky, the machine is not fast, and it has problems connecting to Wifi.

Don't get this expecting to browse the web often. Don't get this expecting to watch movies a lot. Its an e-reader. Its a good one. The other stuff works to some sense of satisfaction, but its a distraction more than anything else. Pick this up if you want to read books, occasionally show off some pictures or videos, and read some text-based websites. Wikipedia works very, very well with The Book, for instance.

We bought this looking to get something to read books on. It does it. It does it well. The other stuff is nice to have and play with, but don't mistake this for a tablet PC or Apple competitor.

Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, 6" Display, Graphite - Latest Generation

2010-08-14T23:27:00.003+07:00

New Kindle Wireless Reading Device is Lighter and Thinner. It's only 8.5 Ounces
When you're reading for long periods of time, the weight of Kindle Wireless Reading Device is very important. That’s why Amazon worked hard to make the newest Kindle lighter than ever – only 8.5 ounces – so you can read comfortably for hours with just only one hand. New Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback, and thinner than a magazine. Just a third of an inch in profile, New Kindle fits perfectly in your hands.

Ergonomic Design
New Kindle is very easy to hold and read. It is designed with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages from any position. The new soft-touch, textured back is comfortable to hold and never gets hot in your hands.

Never Gets Hot
Unlike a laptop or tablet, Kindle never gets hot so you can read comfortably as long as you like.

Simple to Use, No Computer Required
Unlike most electronic devices, we wanted to keep Kindle simple. New Kindle is wireless and ready to use right out of the box – no setup, no software to install, no computer required.

Battery Life of Up to One Month
A single charge lasts up to one month with wireless off. Keep wireless always on and it lasts for up to 3 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content.

Charge Via USB
New Kindle ships with a U.S. power adapter and a micro-USB cable for charging your Kindle from a computer USB port. The U.S. power adapter supports voltages 100V-240V.

New Proprietary Screen Technology - Faster Page Turns, New and Improved Fonts
Kindle’s new, high-contrast display is further optimized with Amazon’s proprietary waveform and font technology to make pages turn faster and fonts sharper. Waveform is a series of electronic pulses that move black and white electronic ink particles to achieve a final gray level for an image or text. We have tuned Kindle's waveform and controller mechanism to make page turning 20% faster. This waveform tuning, combined with new hand-built, custom fonts and font-hinting, make words and letters more crisp, clear, and natural-looking. Font hints are instructions, written as code, that control points on a font character's line and improve legibility at small font sizes where few pixels are available. Hinting is a mix of aesthetic judgments and complicated technical strategies. We've designed our proprietary font-hinting to optimize specifically for the special characteristics of electronic ink.
