TMCNet: e-reader briefing [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]

[November 21, 2009]

e-reader briefing [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]

(St. Louis Post-Dispatch (MO) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Nov. 21--e-reader briefing Is an e-reader among your holiday shopping plans? If so, here are a few things you need to know.

Price -- Expect to spend at least $200 on the device. That would get you the pocket edition of the Sony Reader, about the size of a paperback, with a 5-inch screen. At the higher end of the scale, the Kindle DX sells for just under $500, with a 9.7-inch screen and wireless downloading of books.


Big platform -- There are quite a few e-readers on the worldwide market. But Lance Ulanoff, editor of PCMag.com, suggests sticking with the Sony Reader, Amazon Kindle or Barnes & Noble Nook. And if you're buying multiple devices for the family, he says it's best to stick with the same company to avoid compatibility and sharing problems. "Before you dedicate yourself to a reader, you need to dedicate the whole family to the same reader," Ulanoff said.

Empty stocking -- If you're drawn to the new Nook by Barnes & Noble, be aware that you're unlikely to get it in time for the holidays. The company said this week it has sold out its initial allotment.

Books you want -- Make sure the books and authors you want to read are being digitally published. Notably, authors J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter) and John Grisham have not allowed their works to be published as e-books.
