By Vince Knightley

In this article we will compare 3 ebook reader options to consider before you buy one. The electronic reading device reviews outline the features and specs for each item which hopefully will make the decision easier for you.

1. Amazon Kindle: The Amazon Kindle is a portable reading device that can hold up to 1500 books. It has global wireless coverage and is lightweight measuring at only 10.2 ounces and is just over 1/3 of an inch. Downloads are fast, taking only 60 seconds, and 3G wireless gives you access to books just about everywhere without having to worry about any contracts or monthly fees. The screens are a paper like display which will compensate for glare in every kind of light, even sunlight, so you'll never have difficulty reading. Don't feel like reading? Use the read-to-me function and have your books read to you and also enjoy a built-in dictionary. Each Kindle offers a large selection of books, magazines, blogs and newspapers, and you have access to low book prices even New York Times Best Sellers and new releases.

2. Sony Digital Reader: Most of the same features are offered with this electronic reading device, but this one has touch screen navigation too. It will allow you to turn pages with the swipe of a finger; take freehand notes or highlight sections of text that you might want to look at again later. Also inclusive is an ebook library software that allows you to export your notes to your computer. The Sony Reader supports both industry standard formats, ePub and PDF; this comes in handy as you have access to a wider number of books and the places you get them from. The capacity is a bit smaller though and it can only hold up to 350 books at one time.

3. Amazon Kindle DX: A variation of the Amazon Kindle, the DX comes with a larger 9.7 inch screen display. It holds 3500 books and periodicals at one time, but is limited to U.S. Wireless. A bonus to this Kindle is it offers 16 shades of gray which results in sharper images and text and also has an auto-rotating screen so you can switch between landscape and portrait easily.
