Talk:List of e-book readers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It would be nice for someone to start and E-book device comparison page. With the Kindle coming out, this will become a popular topic over the next few weeks...

Sounds a good idea. You might like to consider starting it off yourself. — Matt Crypto 19:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Price

I added the fact tag to the claim that e-readers are expensive compared to PDAs and laptops because it's potentially misleading at the moment. While I would agree that most e-book readers are expensive compared to laptops and PDAs, this is only relatively because of what you're getting. For example the $400 for the Kindle or even $500 for the Sony E-reader isn't really that expensive compared to a laptop, there aren't that many at the price (new). The issue is of course that with a laptop you get a device with a bigger colour screen, a better processor, lots of hard disk space and which can do a lot more. With PDAs, $400 is I think on the fairly high end although PDAs tend to be smaller (but again as with laptops have colour screens and usually better processors etc) Nil Einne (talk) 10:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reader programs for PC

www.ereader.com seems to be perhaps the only PC reader that doesn't include burdensome DRM (such as preventing copy/paste) the way Adobe Digital Editions and Mobipocket do.[1] --Ty580 (talk) 04:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
