Apple's iPad was destined to stimulate a response from Amazon, and that response has been swift and effective. Beginning even before the launch of the iPad, Amazon has obviously developed a strategy designed to maintain the Kindle's position as e-reader of choice. How will Apple respond to this kick in the teeth?
It had to happen. Apple's foray into the eBook market with its iPad had to get a reaction from Amazon, but nobody quite expected the severity of this reaction. Amazon has responded...
Bound Books or eBooks: Price or Sensation?
There is currently an issue over the relative cost of regular bound books and their digital equivalents. Many feel that eBooks should be priced cheaper than they are now, although an analysis of the relative costs of the two do not bear this out. Were eBooks to become too inexpensive, it could spell the end of the regular book industry along with the social and economic problems that could entail.
The expansion of sales and demand for eBooks, readable on e-readers such as the Kindle and...

Is There Hope For A Kindle Application In Universities
The Kindle DX was designed specifically for use in schools. The system has a cool 10" screen which makes it very easy to read documents, textbooks, and other classroom materials. It's easy to use, is lightweight, and cuts the cost of books at the college and university levels to less than half of what you have to pay at the school bookstore. So, what is the problem? The use of the Kindle application in Universities and public schools is no longer being supported or promoted.
One tiny little...
Developments in E-paper Devices
E-paper was developed to simulate the look of paper on screen, and E-paper devices followed to make use of that technology. The science behind both is beyond the scope of this article, but basically the effect is achieved without back-lighting, and can be maintained even in bright sunlight without glare. The devices that use the technology, however, tend to be behind its intended capabilities, particularly with respect to glare, and usability has been moderate at best.
Even those that can...
New eReaders and Similar Devices
It was evident at the January 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that manufacturers are trying hard to define the 'larger than cell phone' screens to be found on various devices, particularly on eReaders, or devices that can be used to read eBooks such as tablet computers and netbooks in addition to the dedicated ebook readers themselves.
There appears to be a movement towards smaller data processing devices and larger eBook reading screens, so that the two appear to be converging...

Why you should want to do that is another question, but it is likely that lighting conditions will sometimes be better...
The Apple iPad: A Step Forward but Not the Whole Way
Apple's iPad has taken almost 10 years to appear, but it is now with us - although not yet available for sale. This half-inch thick device has a 9.7 inch touchscreen with an LED-backlit IPS display, and possesses several enhancements such as Bluetooth 2.1, a compass and an accelerometer. The A4 1 GHz chip was developed by P.A. Semi, but while the entire package may have been designed and marketed as the next 'new Apple thing', the product itself appears to be lacking in many respects.

Sonys Latest e-Reader: A First with Touch-Screen Navigation
Sony introduced the first e-reader - the short-lived PRS 500 - in 2006, before Amazons 2007 Kindle made its debut, but the Kindle quickly left the PRS 500 in its dust. In August 2009 Sony announced three new e-readers: the very basic Reader Pocket Edition, the more sophisticated Reader Touch Edition, and its most recent creation, the Reader Daily Edition, which was unveiled in December 2009.

Readius: The Rolling Display e-Reader that Almost Didn't Happen
The "Readius eReader", the first pocket-size e-reader with a rollable e-paper display larger than the device itself, was invented by Polymer Vision, a spin-off of an electronics company that wanted state-of-the-art technology to be able to reach the marketplace more quickly. A financial mess led the fledgling company to bankruptcy in July 2009, but its knight in shining armor was an Asian technology firm that has since shepherded the project to safety. It will make its debut in...
Know More about Ebooks
The e-books and e-ink technology are still a new concept for most of the people. Due to the obvious similarity of the name, they often ask whether the ordinary paper books have lost significance and how is that possible. However, a greater understanding of e-book will elucidate that there are certain differences between the two.
One of the biggest plus point with the book is the overwhelming tradition that is there with it. At the same time, it is a physical product and can be gifted to...
A Review of Websites About eBook Readers and eBooks

The Progress of eBook Readers in 2010
2009 saw growth in sales and popularity of eBook readers, although there was still an innate reluctance for people to read from screens rather than paper. 2010 will see a shift in emphasis towards e-ink and paper developments, and the new kids on the block will be offering equipment that the more established Amazon and Sony will work hard to emulate yet alone beat.
There is no doubt that eBook readers are continuing to increase in popularity, although it is believed by many that sales will...

The Plastic Logic QUE eBook reader has been unveiled, but not yet launched. Nor has a price been stated, although the objective of the development has been described by Plastic Logic as providing a produce for the business market, rather than for consumers.

Amazon Offer Kindle for Sale in Europe - Will they Succeed?
Amazon's Kindle eBook reader is now on sale in the UK and Europe, shipped with a US power adaptor supporting voltages of between 100V and 240V so that it can be used anywhere in Europe. Amazon began offering the Kindle to Europe in late October 2009, thus breaking down the one barrier to its potential domination of the e-reader market.
It is not, however, sold from local Amazon sites such as Amazon.co.uk, but only from the American main website Amazon.com. It is sold in American dollars, and...
EBook Readers and their Smaller Brothers and Sisters
Ebook readers are becoming available from a number of manufacturers and in various formats for PC, mobile phones and PDA systems. Two of the more popular ebook readers are the Amazon Kindle and the Sony although competition is heating up, largely because of Amazon's failure to dominate their niche by failing to offer the Kindle to the UK and Europe until sales started on October 19, 2009. That policy has enabled competitors to be knocking on Amazon's door as genuine competitors.
Sony offers...
Is the Future of Books in Mobile EBook Reading?
The popularity of mobile eBook reading is growing, largely because of the various benefits that they offer. These range from convenience to cost, and an increasing number of providers are entering the market. That popularity will increase, although the current leaders in e-reading technology might be for long if consumers take the view that multi-tasking equipment is preferred to dedicated eBook readers.
That's a good question. Does the future of books lie in the increasing popularity of...
Cool-er EBook Reader: Intuitive Marketing or Blatant Copying?
Cool-Er is making its place in the e-reader market through what appears to be some pretty intuitive marketing techniques with a product that certainly does what it says it does at a price that competes with anything on the market.
It has taken the UK in particular by storm, and a large part of Europe with it, and it is perhaps no coincidence that the Amazon Kindle is not available in either markets. One cannot help but think that Amazon has made a bad marketing blunder by failing to offer...

E-Book Readers and E-Ink: their Past, Present and Future
E-Ink is not an ink as such, but a form of encapsulation used in eBook Readers. Ink has been used for thousands of years, and the principle of ink upon paper to convey thoughts, ideas and messages is a sound one. Paper is easy to carry around, and does not require a power source, but it also has limitations. It is finite, and has to be replaced when used, and what is written cannot be updated. It can be scored out or added to, but not updated.
In the electronic age, then, it would make...

Can eBook Readers Save Our Forests?
