A previous TechTip introduced the eBook reader, a powerful and portable device for reading electronic books. After reading that article, you might be wondering what devices are on the market. Once upon a time, pickings were quite slim. Not any more.

You now have a range of choices. Different manufacturers, different models, different capabilities. There’s an eBook reader for every gadget lover – from the person who wants every feature to someone who wants a simple but functional gadget. This time around we’ll be looking at some of those choices.

  1. I’m really surprised you guys left out the Jetbook by ECTACO because it kicks some serious butt, and right now if I was going to buy an eBook reader I’d be buying a Jetbook without a second thought.

    Aside from the iPhone I already have for that, or the Dell Axim x50v for that, or the iPAQ 3600, or… you get the point, I do a lot of reading on the go), the Jetbook just lays the smackdown on pretty much all the competition in terms of battery life, page turns, the fact that it’s nearly instant page turning since it’s not based on e-Ink, and all the other accoutrements too.

    Amazing piece of technology, get more info at:

    Have fun, always…

  2. I have several books on EBook format with amazon at http://www.createspace.com/3353434, 3353935, 3359682, 3361050 Even though I don’t own an Ebook reader I would like to know how one goes about getting books in to the Ebook library. I have written 23 books and Amazon has access to all of them and I suppose one could get any of them on Ebook from amazon but I have not scored any sales through that route so was wondering. Since you guys know everything about things technical I was hoping you could give me a hint or two. Melvin C. Duncan Below is my signature for all of my e mails.

  5. An ebook can be in any format usually it is a doc or a pdf, but can be saved differently.It is simply a term used to describe an electronic copy of a book.It is another way of defining it to be included among paperbacks, hardcovers, audio books, and now ebooks.
