Barnes And Noble's Recent Nook Wireless Book Reader Gets Ready For Battle With Amazon's Digital Books Reader
By proprietary formats, as you buy a novel for digital download from Amazon it will come in their own file format .AZW which only allows you to read it on amazon's wireless reading device. So if in the future, obviously after you have have checked out all the digital book readers for the latest model at the best price, you then decided you sought to switch ebook readers to an alternative make, your library of electronic books become useless. Make your own mind up if that's reasonable or not.
That situation has been a big snag for the industry in general but also for the makers of other ebook readers in particular. They where on no account going to be able to offer the number of books Amazon.com where capable of doing and so this helped sales of the Kindle . And so they offer support for more file formats, mainly the Adobe .PDF, which is a favorite standard for free electronic books, but this format does not imitate a scaled down version of text that well as it was always supposed to be reproducing text at an A4 size, just right for the DX and iLiad e-readers but not so for the little 5,6 and 7 inch screens.
Therefore came the Epub standard, an open source format designed to display text. It is fast emerging as the format of the future and has received encouragement from the likes of Google Library who will be releasing their full one million titles, of which the bulk are free to down load, in this format. Barnes and Noble will also be going down the exact same route to the same degree will the Sony-Store.
Therefore you should see that any electronic book reading device that has support for this format will be future proof. B&N's Nook Wireless Portable Reading Device has .E-pub backing, as does the Sony Daily Edition, and so you can download your e-books from wherever you decide, paid for or free, and not just from the manufacturer of the ebook reader device , that is the situation with the Kindle digital e book reader.
