E-book Readers are now Available!
There are a number of e-book readers or digital readers now available in the market such as the Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader and Bookeen iRex. These are portable electronic gadgets not only for bookworms who love to read bestselling novels, but also for those who want to be updated on the current events by having a ready daily newspaper each morning that comes right through their digital reader. So how does one really read a book from the digital reader?
First of all, obviously you have to purchase an e-book or digital reader. Most of them are available in electronic shops online or on specific brand sites of the reader’s brand like Amazon, Sony and Bookeen.com. Prices for these digital readers range from around $250-$399 depending on the brand, features and/or accessories included.
After you have purchased your very own, digital reader, you are ready to purchase e-books at the website brand’s stores right through your reader using the exclusive internet connection provided by your e-book brand. From there, you can choose a variety of book publications that included bestselling novels, top newspapers and even magazines that are available for subscription.
The e-book or digital reader’s functions don’t stop to let you read books without bringing a lot of paperbacks or notebooks to be able to take notes. Most of them have book marking features that enable you to highlight or bookmark a certain text or phrase right from the digital reader without worrying about finding a pen and paper.
If you prefer reading while listening to music, these digital or e-book readers have mp3 functions where you can upload mp3 music on a USB drive and connect to your digital reader and with the help of an earphone that you can buy separately, you can have more pleasure reading your favorite novel while listening to your favorite music!
The greatest part of all about this portability of this electronic gadget, most of them are lightweight and has anti-glare screens so you can read even under the sun without straining your eyes. Another good thing about it is it saves paper and can help save the environment by helping publishers to use less ink and paper for printing that uses chemicals for ink that can be hazardous to the environment.
So, instead of buying a book from bookstores, try using an e-book or digital reader instead. The books on their stores are not only cheaper, but also more accessible anywhere and anytime through your portable reading gadget.
