Amazon Kindle DX eReader

eReaders are handy digital devices that can store several hundreds of ebooks which you can read later at your convenience. In fact, they have several thoughtful features that can make reading from these ereaders an experience in itself. You won’t have to flip through the pages nor will you be required to lug around bulky books. All that you have to do now is click the right buttons to scroll through the book or to search for another book.

You can connect these ereaders to your PC for transferring ebooks to your ereader, or you can download them directly to your ereader. Ebooks are cheap too, which means you can do justice to the huge memory that the ereaders comes with. There are many who complain that the advent of modern electronic devices like the PC, the gaming devices and so on is taking a toll on book reading. This trend can be reversed and going by the popularity of Electronic Readers, reading books is back as a favorite pastime, and in a big way at that.

Most of the leading ereader like the Nook sport compact dimensions and are lightweight. And a single ereader can take the place of several hundred books. The benefit of this can be felt all the more when you are traveling and you can have unlimited access to all the books that you would like to have at all times.

What’s more, ereaders also come equipped with a host of other features that can make reading books a fun experience. Like you can change the size of fonts, which is a boon to those who are visually impaired or senior citizens. This is one thing that you can never do with a real book. Then ereaders can play music even while you are reading and can work just as well in bright sunlight as anywhere else. Ereaders also emit light similar to a computer screen so that you can read even in darkness. These ereaders also sport the ground-breaking eInk technology that makes their display exactly similar to a real page but won’t strain your eyes in any way.

As a matter of fact, ereaders have created a revolution of sorts among book lovers across all age groups. And if you feel tempted to join in the revolution, you can buy Kindle DX and your life won’t be the same any more, that’s for sure.

Ereaders are good for the environment as well as they can bring down the paper consumption in a big way. They have a long battery life and on a single full charge, these ereaders can run in excess of 2 weeks. Ereaders are compact enough to be accommodated in your pocket and are available in a wide price range so that they are easy on your pockets as well. Take for instance the Kindle 3 that will set you back a couple of hundred of dollars. But the convenience that comes with it is simply unbelievable.

IREX TECHNOLOGIES NOW SHIPPING DR800SG eREADER

Westlake Village, Calif., Feb. 17, 2010 – IREX Technologies’ DR800SG wireless eReader is officially available on BestBuy.com today.

The device combines an incomparable, paper-like reading experience and the perfect balance between readability and portability with an open approach to buying and transferring content. With 3G wireless capabilities, users can purchase and quickly download an eBook while on the go.

“Consumer awareness and adoption of eReaders is reaching a tipping point – devices were a hot seller this holiday season and the space is poised to explode in 2010,” said Kevin Hamilton, CEO, IREX North America, Inc. “This is a purpose-built device for people who love to read. IREX supports multiple file formats, provides access to hundreds of thousands of leading books and periodicals, and now offers a strong retail presence to help us stand out in this competitive market.”

Along with immediate availability on BestBuy.com, the device will appear on Best Buy shelves through a phased launch in coming months. Giving users access to the device through a retailer recognized for providing hands-on interaction with technology will drive increased awareness and understanding of eReaders, as potential buyers can see, touch and even test the product – a must do for consumers buying an eReader.

The IREX device includes the Barnes & Noble eBookstore from Barnes & Noble, the world’s largest bookseller, giving users access to more than 750,000 titles, including new releases and bestsellers at $9.99. Barnes & Noble expects its eBookstore (www.bn.com/ebooks) will increase to well over one million titles in 2010, inclusive of every available eBook and eBook originals from book publishers.

Agreements with NewspaperDirect and LibreDigital – two leading distributors of digital content – give IREX users access to the most comprehensive collection of newspapers and magazines available in the eReader market, up to 1,100 more titles than what is currently available on some competitive devices.

“A flurry of eReaders and tablets were announced at CES in January, but the reality is that many of these devices are not widely availability. Shoppers can head to BestBuy.com and purchase the DR800SG immediately, putting their favorite eBooks, newspapers and magazines just a few clicks away – not a few months away,” said Hamilton.

Key product specifications
· Purchase content on the go – wireless service for the IREX device is provided by Verizon Wireless, the nation’s largest and most reliable 3G network. Qualcomm’s Gobi™ multi-mode 3G embedded module drives connectivity to 3G networks around the world.

· Big screen, compact design – some competitive devices offer a similarly-sized device but with a much smaller display area. IREX’s 8.1-inch screen is ideal for books, magazines and newspapers with detailed graphics.

· Purpose-built device – the DR800SG features the latest electronic paper display technology, using E Ink’s Vizplex imaging film, to deliver an experience that is closer to reading ordinary paper than possible with a netbook or tablet device. It also has a longer battery life and is lightweight.

· Easy navigation – the device turns pages faster than competing products and navigation is easy with an interactive stylus-driven touch screen. Users can search their library or add a bookmark with the tap of a stylus or skim an eBook with the touch of a thumb.

· Customized reading – users can enlarge or reduce text size and margin widths, or select portrait or landscape mode to suit their preferences.

Pricing and availability
The IREX DR800SG has an MSRP of $399.99, which includes access to a variety of free content. Wireless access to downloaded content is included in the cost of the DR800SG and no contract is required

Here’s a link to a the latest from CNN about the eReader popularity:

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2010/01/06/ces.ereaders.cnn

Over  the past week or so, several major news publishers have posted stories regarding a major product announcement planned for January by Apple. 

Reliable sources expect this to be the long awaited Apple ”tablet” which would likely be 7-10 inches, and priced between $500-700, giving it competitiveness in the netbook market without actually being a netbook.

Rumor is that the device may be 3G wireless integrated, sold through cell phone carriers, and may include e-book software for books that could be sold through the iTunes Store.

Rumor has it the Sony Reader is also in short supply this holiday season! Don’t delay your purchase on ANY of the eReaders if you want to have one under the Christmas tree for someone this year!
