I try to keep up with what’s happening with the EBook Reader area. I came across a website that has incorporated everything you would like to know about the devices as well as news about them, prices currently being charged and much more. Go to: http://www.top-ereaders.com/ and read what is there. This site gives information on each of the readers, what you should look for and the prices as well. Walmart offers the Ebook Reader’s at a slightly lower price and you should make sure which ever one you would like to get the best price. There have been several articles over the last few months that Walmart is getting into selling ebooks as a major competitor against Amazon. They haven’t really done anything as of this writing but we will continue to monitor the situation. The readers themselves are all still around $200 to $500 or more depending on the manufacturer and the options that you choose. The Amazon Kindle 2 seems to be pretty nice but still on the pricey side for my taste. The most important feature, for me at least, is that the device be able to read PDF (acrobat reader) files. Without this feature the Reading Devices is usually locked into one type of ebook and/or company which is not very a good thing.

Another website I would recommend is the EBOOK88 website at: http://www.ebook88.com/about.html This website has some great information about Ebooks themselves. If tells where you can get them from, where some free resources of ebooks can be found, and more. “eBook88 is an independent web site for eBook resources. We provide a list of some educational eBooks that are available at different eBook Stores. Some of them are free. We also have an ebook directory where individual authors can submit his/her works.” I found the site to be informative and helpful.
