The eBook Reader Product Comparison
The shining moment of those hand-held devices happened since last year. That is why when everyone was making their own list of givable items which served as gifts for the past holiday seasons, the most common thing that is listed is that thing that is loved by everyone, an electronic book reader Kindle 2. According to an eBook Reader Product Comparison, out of the many varieties of eBook readers, the number one spot when it comes to having the greatest market share is competed by only three of them.
The three most known eBook readers in the market nowadays include the Amazon's Kindle, Barnes and Noble's Nook, and Sony Reader. Of course, since they are made by different experts from different companies, their specs, pricing, and privacy issues also vary one from the other. Thus, it is a great idea to find out what the experts would say and what those reviews would have to tell you about those various devices so that you'll be guided in making up your mind to choose which one to trust and buy.
Nowadays, you don't have to leave your house anymore so that you can go to the nearest bookstore for that book that you badly want to read. Thanks to Amazon for the convenience that came along with its introduction of that online bookstore where you can do your shopping anytime. Amazon did not stop from there. Later on, it also launched its very own eBook reader, the Kindle, which was a blessing to every reader there is. Based on the original Kindle, Amazon made some improvements on the device and put some add-on features into it and then introduced the second edition of Kindle, the Kindle 2.
By the way it looks, the improvised Kindle is slimmer, faster, and smarter than the original Kindle. Likewise, it guarantees fast download which is said to be done in a matter of minutes only. Also part of the package of this Kindle 2 are amazing features such as its developed E-Ink display, built-in dictionary, and a memory that is capable of storing not just hundreds but thousands of those books that you love to read. The device can even let you subscribe to other reading materials such as magazines, newspapers, and blogs.
Amazon Kindle 2 is also equipped with text-to-speech capability. Unlike the older version, its availability of Next Page keys which are smaller and inward-facing has resolved the previous concern on accidental page-turning. Apart from that, added on to this unit is a Home button that you can simply click for you to view the home screen right away. Other additional features include the device's two stereo speakers on the rear part and a 3.5mm headphone jack on top.
Its QWERTY keyboard is now using rounded keys for you to create notes, search, enter web addresses and perform other applications on it easily. You will also notice that in Kindle 2, unlike the first one, the space bar is placed in front and in the center. It has been said that in such competition where one wants to be on top of the other, no one is going to win because everything lies on what the users need and want. Hence, one thing that you should remember before you decide which one to buy is to think of the following questions: how often you like to read, where you like to read, and how many books have you purchased in the previous year?
Best book ebook/ bookreader/ereader?
I was thinking about a book reader, I looked up reviews on the kindle, which were mixed. After looking at few different devices, it seems that maybe the technology, or at least its application is immature.
I was hoping I might get owner/users opinions on these gadgets?
I love my Kindle 2 very much. Yes, the application inside (like web browser) is not mature, but seems I can just have what I need and expect. I can buy the book, then read it, highlight, bookmark, lookup dictionary all on the device, and it is really nice.
And since Amazon provide books for the Kindle cheaper than actual books, it has saved me quite a lot of money. Right now I've read over 10 books with the Kindle, and I really like the idea that I can bring and store all the books with the handy device. Besides, it uses the e-ink technology, it is really clear like reading books; and even I read with the device for long hours, I don't feel tired. My only complaint is the white case, right now all the Kindles are in white color... I think it will be cool if I can have a black or deep blue color Kindle 
I suggest you to read this review from a top reviewer who is also a book lover, it outlines quite a lot of benefits of the Kindle and also why it is worth especially at the end of the review:

BTW, there are some website like this one, where you can find more than 20,000 free books for the Kindle. So no need to go to library to borrow them, you can actually own them:
