Amazon Kindle eReader is the leader, at least in the U.S., eReader market after the introduction of lighting 1 in 2007. Sony took the 2nd place with 30 to 35% of the market.
But now a new kid on the block. In October '09, Barnes & Noble announced that the dark eReader sold out in pre-order in a few weeks.
Darkness is the first revolutionary body. It would be difficult for your average gadget guy / girl a show and not a serious desire to develop. Butmeans that the angle is the best thing since the printing for boys and girls academic?
We see and compare some of the characteristics of eReaders darkness and light.
For the most part to 'corner reading e-ink display is much like reading about Kindle eReader e-ink screen. ERreaders Both use the same or similar treatment of the screen.
What is dramatically different and that attracts more people into eReader angle is the small LCD displaye-ink touchscreen display. For lighting, navigation is via chicklet keyboard and 5-way navigation button. Control of the dark is primarily accessed through the touchscreen.
The angle of the touch screen is also used for books in the library or buy books from Barnes & Noble through the wireless connection. A virtual keyboard is available on the LCD screen to write.
The color LCD screen and angle it looks really niceIt seems a very desirable feature, but there are problems with software deployment, we will a bit '.

The eReader is blind has a WiFi connection and a 3G AT & T Wireless. The difference is that the angle of the bond can only be used forpurchase and download books Barnes & Noble. No internet, no Wikipedia, you can not use it to connect to another online ebook store and buy books.

Part of
One of the functions eReader dark increased media attention is the ability to e-books for lending to friends. Sorry, this feature is not as great as first thought. First, publishers must choose their books are borrowed. Some said they would not allow it. So there are limitations: you can specify a particular time of loan books ever, and onlyfor 14 days. Even if a book is borrowed, you can not access it for their own corner.
The lighting is currently not allowed this type of loan. But you can share with ebooks to 6 (this can vary by title), which extends to the same account is registered. It works well for families multi-illumination. It 'can also have a reading club with your friends lighting, if you feel part of a credit card for your lighting eReaders register.

A nice thing that the dark eReader has a user-replaceable battery. battery lighting is wired and will be returned to Amazon for replacement ($ 60). Amazon said that even after 500 charges (ten years or so), these batteries will still control 80%, so this can not be a problem for most people.
The angle also accept an SD card for additional storage. The lighting was just his memory, but it is sufficient to maintainApproximately 1,500 books, and can not be a problem for you.
Create an angle that is not an official Barnes & Noble has been recognized that the ability to e-books can be borrowed from the local library when using the OverDrive digital distribution service.

The e-book store
No matter how good the hardware, the primary objective is to read eReader books. Why eReaders today tend to be linked to its own DRM format for current titles that you want to ensure thatThe hardware chosen is supported by the best ebook shop (s).
The area's largest provider of ebooks ebook DRM'ed will naturally Barnes & Noble. You can also purchase other ebooks DRM'ed online merchants that support Adobe Digital Editions. The area is also suitable for non EPub DRM'ed and PDF.
With lighting, you can purchase most if not all your titles DRM'ed from Amazon Kindle store. Lighting also uses a number of different formats for eBooks not like DRM'edMOBI and PDF. ebooks public domain are available for lighting eReaders. I suppose at some point Amazon also for lighting compatibility EPub to allow the growing pressure for it.
Many people reduce the lighting is closed for Amazon eBook store for ebooks DRM'ed. Although it may be true in general, the fact is that the store lighting does not have evidence of B & N and all online stores selling ebook ADE-set format.In most cases, Amazon's prices are less than good, even Barnes & Noble was trying to make their prices to adjust.
If you read books mainly on the sales charts in progress, you will probably find this size in most comparable prices. The more off the beaten path, it says, but more likely to find what you're looking at the lighting store.
So what is the best eReader – light or dark?
If the race was not dark eReadermarket in 2009 holiday season, and Barnes & Noble waited until they are ready for the software and the bugs worked, then I would say that the darkness would have been a very good choice and maybe they were just on fire.
In reality, the darkness at the time of its poor software version mutilated, unless the B & W it corrected in a timely manner in a corner infect the next edition will be bypassed. Barnes & Noble said that their workAll day the software to work and solve problems and current angle to their credit, they released some updates as of this writing. There are still many errors and the angle is slower than light will be distracting when you try to dive into the next great book. In the current state of the LCD screen does not play well with e-ink and can be very frustrating to use.
Also, I prefer the store lighting. My reading tastes areBut apart from yours, then I suggest you make a list of books you want to read and compare the price and availability between the store lighting and B & W have to do. Ebook higher prices can add up rather quickly.
The ability of light to connect to the Internet and Wikipedia, etc. are also not be underestimated.
I think the dark eReader has the potential to make a big eReader and possibly similar to the fire, but it is something of a gamble to buy one hourwaiting to see if Barnes & Noble, all defects are fixed at the time and adjust the supply of lighting the store.
