The growing eBook market has spawned fierce competition among eReader manufacturers.
Almost all leading device manufacturers, like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, have several different
styles of eReaders targeting different types of eBook content, from text-heavy novels to full-color
magazines with rich images and interactive multimedia. So the basic problem for most people
comes down to: what type of eReader should I get?
You'll definitely want to get the most bang for your buck, so the best place to start is knowing the
kinds of books you like to read the most. It seems obvious to start here, and it is: when it comes to
eReaders, the type of content you will read on it greatly narrows the types of eReaders that are
appropriate for that content. And probably the biggest factor used in determining the type of
eReader to purchase boils down to one key feature - the screen.
EReaders can be broadly categorized solely on the basis of the type of screen technology used. In
fact, the contemporary eReader was launched based on a revolutionary screen technology
developed only recently, that is, electronic ink. It cannot be overstated how important this
technology has been in making electronic reading devices both popular and affordable. What is
unique about electronic ink is that it allows you to read for hours in bright light conditions without
making your eyes fatigued. It's the high tech equivalent of printed paper. Hence it is ideal for
readers who like to read text-heavy content like novels or non-fiction works. eReaders that employ
electronic ink screen technology are often called 'dedicated eReaders', because these devices are
optimized for doing one specific task, namely, reading lots of text. If this is what you'll be doing
with your eReader, you'll want a dedicated eReader for sure. Examples of dedicated eReaders are
Amazon's Kindle eReaders (excluding the Kindle Fire), Barnes & Noble's NOOK, and Kobo's
Touch eReader. All use state-of-the-art electronic ink displays.
For those who don't read a lot of text but like books with colorful images or interactive content,
eReaders with LCD screens are available. Most people think of tablets when they think of LCD
screens, and they would be right: tablets that are used to read such content are really just 'tablet
eReaders'. These eReaders are somewhat optimized for reading - but where text is less
prominent and less important than images and video, for example. There is unfortunately a cost
for this richness - tablet eReaders are generally more expensive than dedicated eReaders
(possibly hundreds of dollars more), heavier, use more energy, and have backlit screens that are
difficult to read or view in bright light conditions (e.g. outdoors). Of course, if playing games,
watching videos, or surfing the Internet are high priority tasks for you, the cost is acceptable. But
for most avid readers who just like reading, the better alternative is to get a dedicated eReader.
Current examples of tablet eReaders are devices like Apple's iPad 2, Amazon's Kindle Fire,
Barnes & Noble's NOOK Color, and Kobo's Vox eReader.
There are, of course, countless other features both types of eReaders have that have not been

2. discussed, but relatively speaking, they are less important and mostly relevant to your personal
preferences. The big picture on eReaders comes down to the only picture that really counts on an
eReader - the screen. If you know what you like to read, choose an eReader with an appropriate
screen. In most cases, that will be an electronic ink screen.
