B&N's Original Nook Wireless Ebook Reader Squares Up To Amazon.Com's Digital E Book Reader
The new Nook wireless book reader being marketed by B&N, the worlds largest high street book stall with in excess of 1,300 branches, looks all set to lock horns with the worlds best selling portable ebook reader, the Amazon kindle.
Although not long unveiled, the Nook electronic book readers are looking to unsettle Amazon's feathers further by taking it on openly in a segment of the market, that up to yet, the Kindle 2 has dominated. Ever since it's unveiling, firstly as the Amazon kindle then later in February 2009 as the Kindle2 , it has re-ignited the digital books reader market place by offering a mix of innovative specification, owing to it's instant connect anyplace wireless networking and also the largest choice of titles available for download at fantastic, cheaper than the high street, price.
No doubt after going through ebook reader reviews, buyers brought in to the idea in a big way and it is just recently that the rest of the industry have woken up to the truth that this is the future of book buying. An so in the most recent few months we have had the message from Sony of their intention to enroll in the fun, with their soon to be released Daily Edition, and the most recent press release from Barnes and Noble that their own contender, the Nook, will return to complete manufacture very soon.
There are no uncertainties that the Kindle2 is the device everybody is going after. And to be frank it's nice to see a little opposition in this sector. Yes we have had the iRex iLiad but the ebook readers reviews disliked it because it was some what on the big side to be a wireless portable reading device, great for office use with the 1:1 A4 reproduction, but much like the Amazon dx - another wireless portable reading device - not something you may want to take on holiday, or put in your handbag or pocket for that matter, and it was never going to contend on price was it?
So now we have 2 outsized companies ready to go head to head, with the might of Amazon kindle, on all fronts. Sony corp recently enlarged the size of their library at the Sony-Store and discounted the price of their digitally shipped titles to go with that of Amazons and hopefully B&N, who have at all times been in the identical ballpark price wise, will equal them title for title also.
Now the biggest news broadcast for consumers has to be the move away from proprietary file formats utilized by Sony in the early days and nevertheless utilized by the Kindle now. To explain the position I will use Amazon as an illustration, remember this is still the situation with the Kindle so it makes it more clear.
