Among many hi tech gadgets, the hottest trend of buying electronic gift set is a portable ebook reader. This is a wireless reading device that can read ebooks any time any where. Here are the essential pointers on choosing the right portable reader of your choice.
1. Storage capacity : It should have large enough storage capacity to hold as many Ebooks as possible so that you can consolidate all your beloved Ebooks in just a single portable reader. That implies your library can be on the move easily and conveniently.
2. Choose larger form factor for your easy and better reading. It is really not a good idea to look out for those portable readers with smaller form factor as they may strain your eyes after reading for some time. I do not think that a smaller screen size like a typical IPhone screen type will be popular or the next trend.
3. The portable reader should be affordable with competitive online pricing. Online purchase trend is ever growing especially during this economic crisis time since it saves you a lot in terms of petrol, time and money. You may be able to get some free freebies whenever there is an online promotion.
4. It should have a built-in wireless 3G capabilities to support entire US coverage as well as international countries. Therefore, with a 3G enabled model, you can access your own library of Ebooks, e-magazines, newspaper, blogs and articles anytime and anywhere.
5. Choose the model which comes with text to speech capability. i.e. you do not need even to read with your eyes. Or it gives you an option to switch to speech mode when you are tired of reading after some time. With this user friendly feature, it will help to save you some time and let your eyes rest as well.
6. The Ebook reader should be ultra thin for greater portability. Being ultra thin will also make its owner feel good to own such a trendy and easy to carry gadget. Ladies will love it very much.
7. Ebook reader is just a piece of hardware. It still need the resource support. A portable book reader which does not support a wide of data formats and e-media types will not be in great demand.
8. Get an ebook reader which come with a longer battery life preferably at least 4-5 days of continual usage even it is under full wireless 3G mode. Ideally, it can operate at least one to two weeks continually without wireless mode.
9. To increase the fun of owning it or giving it away as a gift, check out if there is any related products like Ebook Reader Cover and other accessories.
It is not a surprise to claim that latest kindle reader, Kindle 2 provides the best value for money. It is clearly a top winner bet and it will not be a laggard for sure. For a more sophisicated model, there is another one called Kindle DX which has a larger screen display, higher storage capacity and an unique rotational display feature to watch out for.
