Prospective eBook Reader
Hi Everyone,

I'm a student living in Ontario, Canada. I'm new to the forums and while doing some research on eReaders, came across this handy little(?) site.

I will be posting in the "Which one should I buy" section very soon...

Here is a short primer ment to get newbies into electronic reading. The first thing to note that it is not necessary to buy a electronic book reader to read electronic books. There are two other ways of accomplishing the task: Do you have a PC, Mac or a laptop? All three of these can show you electronic books without the need for the reader. Simply download the free software from major vendors such as: Barns and Nobel, Kobo Books and Amazon and start reading away. You need protable reading, you say, well do you have a smart phone? Smart Phones can download the free software from the same vedors, however the problem here is the extreemly small screens.

If you need to look a readers the next step is to figure out what you want in a reader. Below is a list of statements, pick the one that best matches you and buy the reader associated with that statement:

1) I want to read unusual books, not just bestsellers - Kindle
2) Need great library management functionality - Nook Simple Touch
3) I want the aboslute simplest reader avaialble - Kobo
4) Need to read foreign langeuges - Cybook Bookeen
