With the advent of the personal eReaders, and the significant drop in prices, readers have options that they never had before. And now that Smart Phones have readers integrated in them, the choices are even greater.

Never mind the ‘I like the feel of the pages and the smell of the paper’. You now have instant access to literally hundreds of thousands of titles…all for the downloading. Whether you buy them from an online concern, or check them out of your virtual online library, your opportunities to broaden your literary horizons have never been greater.

I have found more authors, been exposed to more genres, and read more diverse books over the few years that I’ve had my eReader than I had probably read over most of my adult life.

And, not only do I read one book; I generally am reading multiple books. One on my eBook reader, another on my Smart Phone, and perhaps a 3rd on my tablet.

And, as they become more mainstream, the prices will only continue to drop.

The Nook is the size of larger sized paperbacks. It weighs a bit more than a book with a cover added. Considering that it can hold approximately one thousand five hundred books, even the most voracious reader will be satisfied.

The back light is quite sufficient for night time reading. It holds a charge for at least ten days with the wireless capability turned off and only takes three and a half hours for a full charge. It is ready to use right out of the box. With the no additional charge Wi-Fi capability, your Nook can be registered at the store and start downloading books immediately.

The internet is faster than any computer. As long as there is a wireless network, you are connected. The Nook Color’s touchscreen is fantastic. It costs more, but worth it. The newest, less expensive version is black and white, with a touch screen and lighter weight. You cannot go wrong with a Barnes and Noble Nook.

It can take some getting used to reading books via the Amazon Kindle, but it has a lot of advantages. You can store many books, so you will always have another book available if you finish the one you were on. eBooks usually cost less than traditional printed ones, with some even being free, so you can be able to buy more eBooks.

The controls on the Kindle are very easy to use. All you do to go to the next page is swipe to the left. When you turn off your Kindle, your spot in the book is automatically saved.

The Amazon Kindle is an eReader that lets you read and store many eBooks. It is easy to use and this form of book is usually cheaper than traditional books. An Amazon Kindle is a great addition for any book enthusiast.

To many people price is the biggest factor; therefore the older models of Kindles and the sony ereader are good choices.

The one that hits the most points on your list, is the right choice ereader for you.
