The up-to-the-minute Nook wireless ebook reader being marketed by B&N, the worlds principal book store with more than 1,300 branches, looks set to lock horns with the worlds best selling digital ebook reader, the Kindle.
Although not long launched, the Nook electronic book readers are looking to ruffle Amazon.com's feathers further by taking it on openly in a sector of the market place, that up to yet, the Amazon Kindle has dominated. Ever since it's unveiling, first of all as the Kindle then afterward in February 2009 as the Kindle2 , it has re-ignited the digital ebook reader market by offering a blend of ground-breaking specification, owing to it's instantaneous connect anywhere wireless broadband and also the largest range of titles available for download at tremendous, cheaper than the high street, prices.
No doubt after going through ebook reader reviews, buyers brought in to the model in a large way and it is only lately that the rest of the industry have woken up to the reality that this is the future of book buying. An so in the last few months we have had the broadcast from Sony of their aim to join in the fun, with their shortly to be released Daily Edition, and the latest press release from Barnes and Noble that their own candidate, the Nook, will be back to complete manufacture in the not too distant future.
There are no doubts that the Amazon kindle 2 is the device everyone is going after. And to be truthful it's enjoyable to see a little rivalry in this sector. Yes we have had the iRex iLiad but the ebook readers reviews disliked it because it was a little on the bulky side to be a wireless portable reading device, just right for office use with the 1:1 A4 reproduction, but much like the Kindle dx - another wireless portable reading device - not something you will desire to take on vacation, or put in your bag or pocket for that matter, and it was never going to contend on price was it?
As a result now we have two outsized companies ready to go head to head, with the power of Amazon, on all fronts. The book reader arm of sony recently enlarged the size of their store at the Sony-Store and reduced the price of their digitally transported books to match that of Amazons and with any luck B&N, who have at all times been in the same ballpark price wise, will match them title for title also.
However the main news for clients has to be the move away from proprietary file formats used by Sony in the early days and even now utilized by the Kindle2 now. To make clear the situation I will apply Amazon as an example, remember this is still the case with the Kindle so it makes it crystal clear.
