Electronic Reading Device

Having a book nearby for reading has always been a great pastime. Now with an electronic reading device you can read for relaxation, update your knowledge, keep up with current events, trends or Hollywood gossip without having to lug around any books.

Technology has certainly changed the world. When computers first started out they were as big as a room. Now a desktop computer not only contains far more computing power than the original computers, but they are obviously a lot smaller. Video games, HD TVs, satellite connections, cell phones, iPods, well I could go on and on, but you get the idea.

However, the book has always been a simple item (well, after Gutenberg invented the printing press that is). So when these electronic reading devices first came out people wondered if they would really be any good. Could they really replace the comfort of holding a novel in your hands and would the ease, cost and availability be the same as books provided?

Several companies are producing these electronic reading devices, however there are only two companies and their wireless reader devices that are worth talking about because they are head and shoulders above the competition and dominate the market.

These two products are the Sony reader with its PRS models and the Amazon Kindle with its models. Although Sony is a brand name and doing a decent job, however Amazon (although it didn’t invent the book, it more or less invented the online book store) by far has a superb product when it comes to a wireless reading device for reading books, newspapers, magazines and blogs.

Three years ago Amazon built an entirely new class of device from early eBook readers – the Amazon Kindle. By this time the eBook market had grown and become more popular so it was a great time for Amazon to come out with their electronic reading device that provides a pleasant reading experience for handling digital books, magazines and newspapers.

Here are some of the benefits the Amazon Kindle provides:

• Entirely wireless
• No need for hotspots when downloading

Here are a few other features of the Amazon Kindle that you will like.

Ergonomic Design

Since people turn and move into different positions while sitting or laying in bed while reading the vertical “page-turning” buttons are located on either side. This also means that you won’t have any trouble turning the pages whether you are a lefty or a righty.

Shop For Books Right From Your Device

You can shop the Kindle book Store right from your device and with a click you can buy and start reading your new purchases within a minute. The Kindle Store offers the same Amazon.con shopping experience including customer reviews, personalized recommendations and low prices.

A Keyboard

This electronic reading device comes with a QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard allows you to type in a title, author name or keyword to find a book, newspaper or magazine you are looking for.

Built-in Dictionary and Wireless Access to Wikipedia

The Kindle includes The New Oxford American Dictionary with over 250,000 entries and definitions. It also includes free built-in access to Wikipedia.org, which is the world’s most exhaustive and up-to-date encyclopedia.

What Others Are Saying

James Patterson, author of You’ve Been Warned, “The screen is fabulous. You would expect that, with a screen, there would be a glare, it would be hard to read but it’s not. There’s no glare. It’s not backlit, which is kind of magical. I think people are going to be very, very surprised and delighted. This is a lot easier to read than a lot of books are these days.”

Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball, “I’m telling you, after five minutes I’ve ceased to think I’m looking at a screen. It’s not like reading a computer screen. It’s more like reading a piece of paper. I think it’s actually clearer, easier on the eye than the printed word.”

Neil Gaiman, author of Stardust, “It’s like paper and it’s very interesting. It’s very, very crisp. Very functional. Very readable.”

Electronic reading devices, also called wireless reader devices and eBook readers, have helped bring reading to the reader. Now you can carry many books with you and have them all contained in the one little reader, because they are digital.

Plus with access to a built-in dictionary and Wikipedia you can also always have the world’s information and the quick ability to look up any word without having the lug around those heavy textbooks or dictionaries. This modern technology is made possible by Electric Ink Technology.

Reading helps keep a person young by working their brain, it bring relaxation and excitement by following a good writer’s tale and is also the mainstay to education and knowledge. So do yourself a favor and get Amazon’s electronic reading device and not only improve your life but make it easier, too.
