Secrets to Choosing the Best Ereader

Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:31:13 +0000

London, UK, Dec 09.11- Lizzie Manning loves her books, so much so that she belongs to book clubs in both the US and UK. She was not surprised to see more and more club members turn up for meetings with ebook readers, rather than the traditional hardback or paperback, since they were so portable and could store so many books. A few years ago, it was mostly Kindle readers, but recently a whole host of different ereaders have been showing up at group meetings.

Having recently relocated to outer London, she has seen the same pattern repeated among UK book lovers, with a little less variety amongst the ereaders appearing at meetings. Asked to recommend the best ereader by a few of her book group friends, she did a great deal of research, and, realizing that the subject would be of much wider interest than just a few book groups, she decided to offer her opinions online.

And so was born her blog at EreaderComparisons.co.uk.

Lizzie lists the most important features to consider when doing ereader comparison, features such as display type, size, weight and how much time it takes for accessing and downloading eBooks, as well as ebook reader related articles and news..

Ereader display type come in e-ink or color. The e-ink displays, on readers like the Kindle, replicate the appearance of real paper. Choosing e-ink is the best option because you can read even in outdoors and avoid eyestrain. If you are going to read a lot of magazines on your ereader, the Lizzie suggests that you should be looking at an ereader or tablet with an LCD screen, since this offers full color, and best presents magazine content.

Size and weight are very important considerations, particularly for a woman, as you might want to keep it in your purse or handbag. Choose an ereader that is comfortable holding for 30-60 minutes. If you travel a lot, you will probably want not just wireless connectivity, but 3G as well. Most eBook readers can store a minimum of around 1500 books, so you should really not need memory expansion facilities.

Some of the ereaders reviewed by Lizzie are the Amazon Kindle, Amazon Kindle Touch, Amazon Kindle Keyboard, Amazon Kindle Keyboard (3G+Wi-Fi), Amazon Kindle DX, NOOK Simple Touch Reader, NOOK Reader ( Color), Amazon Kindle Fire, Sony PRS-T1, The Kobo eReader Touch Edition, Pandigital Novel, BeBook Neo and Apple Ipad2.

Obama elected 44th president

Sat, 10 Sep 2011 01:49:42 +0000

Barack Obama, a 47-year-old first-term senator from Illinois, shattered more than 200 years of history Tuesday night by winning election as the first African-American president of the United States.

A crowd of nearly a quarter-million jammed Grant Park and the surrounding area in Chicago, where Obama addressed the nation for the first time as its president-elect at midnight ET. Hundreds of thousands more — Mayor Richard Daley said he would not be surprised if a million Chicagoans jammed the streets — watched on a large television screen outside the park.

“If there is anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where anything is possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer,” Obama declared.
