Have you heard of the latest craze called e-book readers? These gadgets are taking the country by storm and you don’t want to be left behind! However, before investing much of your hard-earned money, you need to know the facts and factors to consider:
- The most popular e-book reader is the Amazon Kindle. First introduced to the world on television, this device has been very popular with voracious readers. Now, Amazon has released even more versions. They range in price from $250-$489 and come in two screen sizes.
- Think about the screen size you want: there’s a 6-inch Kindle and a 9.7-inch Kindle available. While a 9.7-incher sounds much better at first glance, think about how you’ll carry the device. If you want to be able to throw it in your bag, a 6-inch might be a better option for you.
- When comparing manufacturers and models, find out where you’ll be buying your eBooks. Make sure that you will have a great selection and you will not be limited. Also understand how much it will cost to download the books. Some manufacturers offer certain books for free!
- Find out how long the battery lasts on the device you’re considering. You don’t want one that won’t let you sit and read without constantly recharging. Some readers will last days on a single charge, while others will last a couple of weeks on a single charge.
- Read some customer reviews online before making your purchase decision. Knowing what other people thought about the product after they took it home is very important. It is from these reviews that you will learn the good, the bad, and the ugly of eBook readers.
