The Battle of the Ebook Readers Has Changed!

by Kathy Erickson

We all know the iPad from Apple is on it's way to the public, so it's going to be even harder for people to choose the best ebook reader for them. Or is it? It looks like it may be a simple choice when comparing the Nook, Sony Reader, Kindle 2 or iPad. Depending on a buyer's budget, it's going to be between the Kindle 2 or iPad. Here's why.

The Kindle 2- Amazon has never been confused as to what this device will do. It's an ebook reader and doesn't try to be anything else. It could be seen as the simplest design of the ebook readers with it's push button navigation and complete gray-scale display. Obviously there is not any added excitement to this device unless you are reading a great book on it.

The Nook- The Nook has most of the same basic features as the Kindle 2 (reading screen, memory, pricing), but Barnes and Noble added some features. The Nook has the color navigation screen. Also using the Android software, B and N boasts that users will be able to use applications from developers on the device. How? What kind of applications? This is yet to be seen.

The Sony Reader Daily Edition came out this year, boasting a touch screen, ability to turn the display on it's side, large display, and many other nice features.

But...here comes the iPad. Some of these features look pretty dull compared to the ultra-super-device that is the iPad. Choosing whether or not to buy some of these other ebook readers just got easier.

The Nook has a 1" tall color navigation screen. Software that may or may not attract the development of applications for the device. When you look at the Nook compared to the iPad, the Nook looks confused as to the direction it is trying to go. Is it an ebook reader or a "super-device"?

The release of the Daily Edition by Sony is quite unfortunate for them. The pricing is very similar to the iPad, so by no stretch of the imagination, they will lose some potential customers.

So the Kindle 2 is the least confused product between the ebook readers. It's an ebook reader. Period. That simple approach may have Amazon aligned nicely in the ebook reader market.

Therefore, it looks like the iPad and Kindle 2 will be left standing when the smoke clears from the war of the ebook readers.

The iPad and Kindle 2 ability to use internationally only strengthens their case.
