Why You Need An Ebook Reader
Do you read a lot? Do you spend a lot of money on books and magazines? Or do you go on vacation and have to heave half-a-dozen paperbacks with you to read at the on the beach? If you do then it is worth considering getting an ebook reader.
A paperback might be $10, so if you take six books with you then that is $60, whereas an ebook reader will cost between $120 and $200, which includes access to millions of books and articles, lots of which are free.
Most ebook readers are a little bit larger than a paperback, but only a third or the thickness. The reader can be preloaded with thousands of books so that you never need to be short of reading material. What is more, if you purchase certain readers, you will have Net access to libraries of material to download everywhere in the world.
If you are an avid reader you will recover your outlay on the ebook reader within a year or so, because electronic versions of books are by and large much cheaper than their hardcopy counterparts. Numerous ebooks are less than $5 and millions that have gone out of copyright are completely free.
If your ebook reader is enabled for the Internet and most of them have global Wi-Fi access, you can go online, browse the Internet and read and send email as well. This is a colossal benefit as it means that you have a cut-down laptop computer at your disposal for little more than $100.
That will save you having to visit an Internet cafe to stay in touch with your friends and family whilst you are on vacation. If you travel far, you will recoup your outlay even more quickly in this fashion. The ebook reader is also small enough to go in your pocket, briefcase or handbag..
Most of these ebook readers have a two-tone display, but there are more expensive devices that will also display in colour. For instance, Kindle has a new item known as Kindle Fire for $199 which is a colour ebook reader which will go online as any normal laptop will.
The big advantage is that as an Amazon customer, you will have access to over 18 million books, magazines, films and TV shows. This is the way that these ebook readers are going. They are in fact becoming complete entertainment devices.
Let's say you like a TV program and read a favourite magazine each week. When you go on vacation abroad, you will be able to watch the program and read the magazine before you get back home. These are quite brilliant benefits from what used to be humble ebook readers a couple of months ago,
Not just that, but say you start watching a program on the bus on the way home. When you get home, your electronic account manager will remember where you are in the film, book or TV program and you can pick it up from there on your wide screen television.
