The Nook Vs Kindle 2 Vs Sony Reader – Top Ebook Readers in 2010
Eugene McGee asked:
In 2010, if you are looking for a top quality ebook reader, there are many to choose from. Amazon has the Kindle 2 with their wide selection of books available; Sony has the Sony Reader with the top quality Sony always brings to the table; and Barnes & Noble has The Nook with a huge variety of books to choose from. All three brands bring a good quality product to the market, and all three brands have features unique to them, singling them out from the competition.
First, let us take a look at Amazon’s Kindle 2. The Kindle 2 is a tablet shaped ebook reader. It is about as thick as a standard sized pencil and is designed to display in shades of white, grey and black. The greyscale text makes reading easy, and can adequately display newspaper quality images you may encounter in your book. The Kindle 2 also features a full keyboard, making typing and searching for books easy. If you are a heavy reader, the unit can handle all the reading you can do. If your eyes are weak, it has a great text to speech function that allows you to listen to the book with a computer generated voice. Its 2 gb storage capacity can handle approximately 1,500 books. One of the best features of the Kindle 2 is the Wi-Fi and wireless access you receive to Amazon’s hundreds of thousands of ebooks. This feature also allows you to do some basic web browsing with limited websites. You can download the first chapter for free before buying to see if you like the book or not.
The Sony Reader definitely has its place in the marketplace. They pioneered the ebook reader. Amazon, however, jumped ahead of them in making the ebooks available through Wi-Fi and wireless access. The Sony Reader can download books through a USB connection to a computer. For storage, the Sony Reader comes with 512 kb of internal capacity, combined with being expandable with Sony memory sticks. The 512 kb of capacity allows for storage of about 350 books. One option available for the Sony Reader that is not yet available for the Kindle 2 is multiple colors. The Sony Reader is available in silver, black and red, whereas the Kindle 2 is only available in white.
The Nook, by Barnes & Noble is one of the most recent competitors in the ebook readers market to hit the shelves. It brings the innovation of a color touchscreen to the mix. The stylish library of books allows you to search for your titles by color pictures of the books’ covers. The Nook, like the Kindle 2, offers Wi-Fi and wireless access to a huge library of books. The Nook has more than a million titles available, along with more than 500,000 free ebooks for you to choose from. If you like to share books with friends and are worried about not being able to lend ebooks purchased, the Nook has the answer. Every ebook you purchase can be shared with one fellow Nook user.
In most ways, the Nook, by Barnes & Noble, seems to top the charts amongst ebook readers. Their only weak links, currently, are that they do not offer the text to speech function like the Kindle 2, and they do not browse the web like the Kindle 2. This, like all technology, will change over time. The playing field will be levelled amongst the competitors. Whatever brand you choose to purchase; know that they will always strive to better their products and earn your business.
