The most well known electronic book readers are Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook and the Sony E Book Reader. Each of them have their advantages and disadvantages. The Kindle reader has a text to speech feature and the new Barnes and Noble Nook has a colored full screen.
After purchasing an Apple iPad several months ago, let me tell you about some of my favorite features that perhaps may make this the best ebook reader.
BARNES AND NOBLE
1. Screen Size
The screen size is 9.7" - most of the others are 6-7" except for the Kindle DX which has the 9.7" screen. The more one needs to magnify the font, the more important the screen size becomes. Larger print words of course take up more room. More words can be viewed on one page with a larger screen size.
Touch Screen
The picture icons on the Apple iPad are large and in vivid colors. I've downloaded the iBooks app and the Kindle app by Amazon. I read from both applications. Amazon has a larger selection of books than Apple at this time. To go to iBooks, simply touch the book picture. You are then taken to the "library" where the downloaded book covers are shown on bookshelves. Touch the book you want to read and start reading.
Color Screen
Compare a color screen electronic reader to a black and white one - there is no question that the color screen is much more appealing. Children's book with vivid color pictures download wirelessly onto the Apple iPad. I've enjoying reading these e-books with my grandchildren. The Kindle readers are only available in black and white and the new color Barnes and Noble Nook is only available in the smaller screen size, 7" diagonally.
