If you are considering purchasing an electronic book reader, it makes sense to compare the 3 big boys in the market, Nook Barnes and Noble, Amazon Kindle 2 and the new Sony Reader Touch Edition. Here is a detailed comparison of all three to help you choose.
First, we examine the similarities in the 3 to readers of eBooks.
Exposing Screen-The Nook, Kindle 2, and reader all use the latest technology display called "E-Ink". This is not your run-of-the-mill computer pixel screen. This screen displays text and images (grayscale) the right against the bottom of the glass screen. This lets you see the crystal clear text, even at extreme angles and lighting situations.
Text can be changed to different sizes for the 3 models too.
3-Audio Support All devices allow you to download and listen to songs mp3 during reading.
Pricing - Pricing is comparable between the 3 devices.
The differences between the 3 devices.
Wireless and 3G – The Kindle 2 corners and lets you access the web to download new titles and publications. The touch Sony does not, instead you need to connect the scanner to the computer via USB and download books. These include the Sony Reader will issue Daily Wireless and 3G, when released. This model will be more expensive than the corner lot and Kindle 2, so that is why this model was not included in this comparison!
Navigation-color screen Color browsing below the screen in the corner that distinguishes it from the e-book readers of others. You can examine color pictures of book covers. This has been noted by many to be a little slow, definitely slower than, say, the iPhone's ability to respond.
Sony Touch Screen: The Sony has a touch screen (hence the name!). Page turning is swipe your finger across the screen, while the home page turning is by the push of a button to the corner and Kindle 2. The Nook color screen doubles as a touch screen, but again, only on the navigation screen, not display.
For memory devices-The Corner Kindle 2 and both have a defect in memory of 2 GB of memory. This allows up to 1,500 books to be added to the device. The Sony has 512 MB of memory that allows up to 350 books.
International Capacity-The Kindle 2 is the only device that offers an international service with 3G and wireless downloading of books and publications. Amazon says the Kindle 2 will operate in more 100 countries.
Loan Characteristic of "The Nook Nook lets you borrow books for 14 days to others who have the corner Nook or compatible device.
The bottom line-not many differences in these 3 most popular reading devices ebook. We at a stage now where every device is trying to be different with different characteristics. Definitely, it will start to intensify more online with others as time passes.
For example, as the EPUB file becomes more popular with public libraries across the country and the world, each reader electronic books support the use of these doubts.
