My best friend got a Kindle from her husband for Xmas and then went on vacation, leaving me to house sit for a month and to play with her new toy. And let me tell you, it is just about the coolest electronic device I've ever used! It fits in my purse (so I'm going to hate giving it up) so I can pull it out whenever I have a spare moment. It downloads books directly onto the machine, it is simple dimple to operate and it's a pleasure to read on.Get more detail about Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation).

Where To Buy Sony Digital Reader Touch Edition - Black (PRS600BC)

Buy Sony Digital Reader Pocket Edition - Silver (PRS300SC)

2010-07-05T14:21:00.001-07:00

I received the PRS300 as a Christmas gift and it went back today. I previously used a demo at a local chain bookstore and wasn't impressed. It is not wireless and the scroll function is VERY slow, continually by-passing the preloaded books as I used it and I had track back and forth. In the pre-loaded recipe book, the ingredients continued to the next page and the directions required you to flip back and forth, for example. I could have dealt with the lack of wireless capability but I wanted to use this device for my academic work and research and few titles I need are available. I also noticed, in just the few minutes that I had it on, that the "front page" with table of contents had already imprinted itself onto the screen when I turned it off. There is no screen saver to prevent it if I you leave it on for a while without flipping the page.

Also the battery is not replaceable by the user - another $125 - 150 when it finally no longer charges? No, thanks. You have to charge it via your computer or purchase an adapter for an additional $30. It's overpriced for what you get - nearly $200? Try $100 especially since you'll have to send it back to Sony to replace the battery within a couple of years.

If you are a casual reader and like biographies and pop fiction and willing to take the hit again when the battery no longer charges, this is the reader for you. Get more detail about Sony Digital Reader Pocket Edition - Silver (PRS300SC).

2010-07-03T14:21:00.001-07:00

And I mean WOW!! I researched eReaders and decided on this one and I am in love with it. The best feature that I like is that I can download books from my local library unlike "other" readers where you have to buy the books. Sure, I have to go through my computer, but it's an easy point, click and drag!

Cheapest Sony Digital Reader Touch Edition - Red ( PRS600RC)

2010-06-30T14:21:00.001-07:00

Sony PRS-600BC ClearTouch Anti-Glare Screen Protector

Ok, where to start? I guess with the title of this review. I do not believe that this is your average Sony product because I was really expecting so much more from a company with their reputation. So with no further adieu, here's my take on the Sony PRS600 eBook reader.

My first impression was that this eBook reader really comes across in its elegance. So in this respect the pictures simply can't do it enough justice. This really does come across as something that you will want to be seen with in business and personal surroundings. I went with the more standard black version as opposed to the other options, but the red might not a bad choice for someone that either wants to push the envelope, or simply make a statement.

One of the features that I really like about this device is the multiple memory card slots. This reader allows you to store your data on SD as well as the more proprietary Sony Memory Stick format. This is a very good feature for someone like me, that has had Sony cameras in the past (that I no longer use), which allow me to utilize those old memory cards that I just happen to have lying around. Also, because there are two separate slots on the top edge of the device, it should allow you to populate both slots with the cards of your choice, which should allow you the added benefit of keeping work and play geographically separated, which is another nice feature that you will not find on many of the other eBook readers.

The menus, I found, are fairly decent, but I found them to also be a bit lacking. For instance, there's no way to adjust contrast on the device. My concern with the ability to adjust contrast comes from one of my more major concerns with the amount of glare that this screen produces. Granted, for some it may not be much, but for me it's been a bit too much. That being said, I've recently come across the "Sony PRS-600BC ClearTouch Anti-Glare Screen Protector", which I've just purchased. Too bad that I didn't know about this when I purchased the reader, as I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is going to, or has purchased this device. Between that and the "Sony Digital Reader Touch Edition Cover with Light - Black (PRSACL6)" this device will be almost completely perfect.

Since this is the "touch edition", no review would be complete without addressing this functionality. The touch functionality really comes into play when you want to either flip pages, or when you're using the zoom feature to move the page around (since when in zoom mode, the zoom slider stays on the screen and the viewed page will need to be moved around in order to view any information that might be obscured from view).

Previously I was fairly undecided about this device. I would have loved the larger screen of say, the Kindle DX. But after having looked around Amazon a bit, I also realize that there are less ways to truly personalize the Kindle, as well as far less accessories available to make the Kindle better or correct any associated short comings. Also, while we're on the topic, even though the Kindle supports more formats it does not support the ePub format, which means that unless you plan to purchase all of your eBooks from Amazon, you probably want have too much available in the terms of other eBooks via anybody else. In all fairness though, while the Sony does support the MS Word format in terms of the .RTF file extension, it does not support the .DOC file extension, which the Kindle does ([...]).

As for the software, a coworker of mine advised me that prior to receiving this device that Sony's been quite lacking on their development of the eBook reader software. His one suggestion to me was to download the free Calibre eBook reader management software (which I found with a simple internet search). So I use the free Calibre eBook reader management software and have had none of the associated problems that I've seen mentioned in some of the other reviews.

Final Verdict:
For what it's worth, this is a really fairly nice eBook reader. Fit and finish are top notch, it works as advertised, is very appealing to the eyes, and fairly easy to navigate. My one recommendation would be to purchase the accessories as mentioned earlier, which should also help to make your eBook reader experience that much more enjoyable.
Realistically, no eBook reader will be 100% of what "you" really want an eBook reader to be. The trick seems to be in finding one that will meet the most of the requirements that you deem are most important to you.

Discount Sony PRS-505/LC Blue Digital Book Reader

2010-06-29T14:21:00.001-07:00

It's not just for e-books. With Sony's "eBook Library" or, my favorite software, Kovid Goyal's free (open source) "Calibre" on my computer, I've downloaded & converted thousands of free books (public domain), news feeds (rss), blogs, and html articles from hundreds of respected on-line sources.

I use to download material to my laptop. But I grew tired of the bulky, heat and nose producing, contraption on my desk/lap/bed/couch/in my bathroom. The e-reader is so natural to use, I've at times found myself turning it over looking for the next page.

The PRS-505 doesn't have wireless connection (like Kindle) but it doesn't need it! It also doesn't have the Kindle's unnecessary bulk and the 50+ keys/buttons to fumble with. Through your computer, it does everything the Kindle can do, but the 505 is a lot smaller (footprint, not screen) and easier to use.

I've used my PRS-505 (daily) for two years. It's function flawlessly and I've read more books & news articles then every before in my life. I've downloaded books, maps, dictionaries, and even graphic novels, and not once wished I had any of the added functionality advertised by the Kindle - or even the newest reader models (Touch, Pocket, or Daily). The PRS-505 is, in a word, perfect.

Got my kindle for my birthday (end of Nov) and haven't put it down since. Love it, love it, love it!!! It is so easy to use and I have a nice leather cover and keep it in by purse always!! Setting up my account was the easiest thing to do and I spend alot of time just looking at all the books available. Thank you so much for the free books, I am re-reading Bram Stoker's Dracula and Edgar Allen Poe's poems. Out of all my electronic "gadgets" (cell phone, ipod) this is my favorite. Great job on the design, the screen is just like a page and it is easy to prop up in bed and read. I REALLY Love taking bubble baths and letting my Kindle read to me!!! Got my boss to get one for his wife for Christmas and he said she can't put it down either! Thank you and making my favorite hobby easy and fun!!!

Sony Reader Digital Book with touch screen - PRS700BC Right now

2010-06-25T14:21:00.001-07:00

I own the PRS-505 (silver). I had a chance to compare it side-by-side with the 700. The clarity of the 505 screen sold it. The 700 is a nice unit, but the foggy display makes it feel like a cheap imitation. I am shocked Sony didn't come up with a better solution.

The 505 is thinner (visually - a little, by touch - a huge difference).
The 505 is easier to use single-handed.
The 505 is easier to read in low-light (at night in bed).

The metal finish on the Sonys is warm to the touch, and slightly textured to be enjoyable to hold.

If you plan on getting PDF documents, there is a free program to convert it to .LRF and cut it up to display properly. As I have thousands of PDF textbooks (thanks, Google!) it was very important that I be able to use the device to read my documents. (Kindle's first version made it almost impossible to convert pdfs).

I also find that (as an engineer) I can create my own technical documents specifically to display on the Sony and I can carry them with me wherever.

Not only a friend in quiet times, but a major addition to my toolbelt as well.

An awesome invention. It looks like the datapad from Star Trek as well. If they ever manage the screen in color I'll be thrilled.

Sony PRS-600 Electronic Book Reader in Black w/ Premium Cover and AC Charger Adapter Decide Now

2010-06-24T14:21:00.001-07:00

I absolutely love this reader. I have a Kindle 1 and a Kindle 2 and this one is much better than them by a wide margin. The page turns are faster, the interface is easier to use and most importantly it has *folders* so I can sort my almost 1000 books into meaningful categories instead of having them in one huge sprawling list. This also handles many more formats than the Kindle, including the epub which seems to be heading to be the industry standard. You can borrow library ebooks from your local library if they participate in ebook lending. The only downside compared to the Kindle is that it doesn't have the markers showing how much of a book you've read on the listing screen -- this lets you know which books you indeed have read and haven't read.

The one huge downer for this reader is Sony's useless, buggy and mainly nonfunctional software. It is a waste of time to even install it. It does not handle collections (folders) correctly, frequently crashes and often screws up the reader content. If you buy any Sony reader just google for Calibre ebook management and you will be led to the most wonderful piece of freeware that does the job that Sony's crap software doesn't do. Calibre is almost all you could ask for in a commercial program, and is totally free.Get more detail about Sony PRS-600 Electronic Book Reader in Black w/ Premium Cover and AC Charger Adapter.

2010-06-23T14:21:00.001-07:00

Quite honestly, there are much better reviews out there than I can write myself, but I believe that anyone buying this version of the Sony Reader (500) needs more information. As of November 2009, Sony has issued an email to current 500 Reader owners to let them know they are updating the 500's firmware to be able to use a different format of e book and it will no longer work if it is not updated. This is not a simple plug in and download it yourself issue, you need to mail your reader into them to have them install this update. They say it will take 14 days to get your reader back, I know if I was buying my reader at this time, and found out after the fact that I had to immediately ship it back to Sony for an update for two weeks I'd be ticked. This is not to say you shouldn't buy one, only know that if you buy this version, their first generation of readers, you will need to send it in to them. They give you a prepaid shipping label for you to ship it to them, so there is no shipping costs to you and they do the update free and ship it back, you pay nothing extra except for your shipping and packing materials.

As for the reader sans update, I have no problems with it, I can easily carry multiple books, the battery lasts an amazingly long time, the pages are easy to read and font size is very easily adjusted. I hope if you buy a reader, no matter the version, that you will enjoy it as much as I have.Get more detail about Sony PRS-500 Portable Reader System.

Ectaco jetBook - eBook reader - ROM: 128 MB - monochrome 5" TFT ( 640 x 480 ) Get it now!

2010-06-21T14:21:00.001-07:00

I got it from the manufacturer's website, have been using it for 3 weeks now - and love it. It display books in multiple formats and languages. So far it does not decode secured formats, but according to the support, the upgrade will be available very soon to solve that problem (and I expect it to actually happen, because a newer modification with removable batteries - JetBook Lite Ectaco jetBook Lite Electronic eBook Reader- already supports e-books purchased from B&N).
Meanwhile, I have been taking it everywhere with me and reading books - for hours every day - and it does not make my eyes tired.

Pros: Right size, lightweight, good construction, convenient design and buttons placement, padded sleeve case included, ease of use, multiple formats, foreign languages - including Russian, expandable memory (SD card up to 2GB), adjustable font size, Landscape layout available if needed, easy on eyes, automatically bookmarks the place in each file and allows to place your own bookmarks,...

Cons: Nothing major. Just some suggestions. For example, bookmarks are specific for each file and there is no General bookmark list that would be convenient shortcut way to get back and force between multiple files/books. I can't think of anything else.

I already bought two more as presents for my Mom and a friend.Get more detail about Ectaco jetBook - eBook reader - ROM: 128 MB - monochrome 5" TFT ( 640 x 480 ).

Sony Digital Reader Touch Edition - Silver (PRS600SC) Best Quality

2010-06-20T14:21:00.001-07:00

I love this reader, I don't have too much to add that hasn't been said in other reviews. The one important thing I wanted to add is about the SD card. I had an a couple of older SD cards that worked fine in my PRS-505, but were giving me headaches in the 600. The SD card was not recognized, slowed down the reader, and I had to do a hard reset to get it back. Nothing in the documentation states what kind of SD card, well you need a newer SDHC SD card. Now everything is great.Get more detail about Sony Digital Reader Touch Edition - Silver (PRS600SC).

I just received my Amazon Kindle leather cover....love it. I was skeptical after reading some of the reviews. The cover took less than 3 seconds to put on my Kindle. The instruction sheet included was very helpful for the installation. The quality of the leather is good and the padding, almost feels like a gel insert, which is covered in felt, will protect the Kindle. The cover closes real well...I don't think straps are needed to help close it??? The Kindle is securely put in place by the hinges.

ECTACO jetBook e-Book Reader Graphite Black Review

2010-06-16T14:21:00.001-07:00

I think we need to take a step back and imagine what it means that such a thing as an e-book reader even exists. Samuel Johnson exalted in his hosts' private book collections, however little; to him they were a man's greatest possessions. What we're talking about here is a small miracle. If you're like me and you relish Gutenberg and hoarding all the Chesterton, Johnson, Shaw, Shakespeare, et al this thing is perfect and the price tag is nothing compared with what educated men for most of recorded history would have done to get their hands on one. I still like having my books, of course--these things do take some of the poetry out of reading poetry. But it's great and we should all be thankful, especially now that it's available in places for 149.99.

Again, think of the fortune this would have been worth (considered only in terms of its function) for almost 100% of human history, sans our little self-conscious "partition". Unfortunately the technology that brings us the miracle is also the instrument of the propaganda that deadens us to it.Get more detail about ECTACO jetBook e-Book Reader Graphite Black.

Shop For Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device (9.7" Display, U.S. Wireless, Latest Generation)

2010-06-14T14:21:00.001-07:00

When I choose the Kindle Dx I was confronted with several buyer and reviewer complaints. When I had one in my hands I realized
that most of these complaints were either exaggerated or made up.
First of all-the Kindle Dx is a light-weight, easy to hold, very functional reader's tablet.
The print is sharp and clear. The controls are well placed.
Accessibility to books is simple.
Storage of books is mind-boggling. Something like 1 million pages.
Ability to transfer almost every personal document created on your computer directly through the USB port is amazing.
As for the quirky landscape from portrait mode, the organization of texts, the fragility of the screen,
these are problematical, but improvable.
They are workable enough to be used or protected by simple steps.
Don't sweat these minor flaws-when the Dx breaks new ground as an e-reader.
As for the price: it could be lower, and it may drop-but given what you get it is still worth it.

Order Ectaco jetBook Lite Electronic eBook Reader

2010-06-12T14:21:00.001-07:00

i was moderately happy with this, hence 3 stars. the cons are: it is VERY slow. clicking and expecting a fast response just will not be the case. you need adapt to that. at first when i clicked and had no response, i clicked again; and by the time the device caught up i had overshot what was sought.

i enjoy using my asus netbook for in bed reading as a light is not needed and i do not disturb my wife. there is no way to read this jetbook in bed without having some lightsource; which then didturbs the other person's sleep. and the glare on the screen from that light source is hard to ignore.

the dictionary is but a very poor one, and again very slow to access a word. when the word does come up, to me, the definitons are inadequate, and sometimes wrong.

the alpha-numerics at the side are in both english and RUSSIAN..why russian??? the languages supported are also to me bizzare; russian, polish??? i can understand spanish, german...but why not french, itaian...rather than polish or russian.

there is every possibility of the screen becoming damaged. it has no protection to scratches or worse; when carried in a purse, pocket etc. my wife will sew a case for me.

the weight is up there when the batteries are in, without batteries it would meet their standards, not so when in. when reading in bed it is fair to middling to access the controls using one hand; i.e. reading with the device in one hand while with that same hand using the thumb to click controls is awkward, and i can see how the device could slip from the grasp when doing that...possible screen damage.

putting the device on a table could also result in screen damage as the screen is flat on the table,,,so one need always mind setting it down with the screen facing up...minimizing but not eliminating damage issues.

i am not all that happy witht he screen tones; the flat grey background to me makes it more difficult reading; i'd perfer more contrast with a lighter background. when they say it is like papaer, they must mean a very old book with paper-aging.

and lastly there is no ability to control brigtness; so in dim light it is VERY hard to read. once again you NEED another light source. with my laptop or netbook, this is no issue as the brightness can be controlled. i also like the screen lighting from the netbook..better contrast. i find reading the netbook does not cause my eyes to get tired but on this ectaco jetbook the eyes do get tired. more so with a room that is dim. i also found it hard to read in direct sunlight, if not impossible without turning the screen to some shadow...which is not always possible, say on the beach.

i do like the replaceable batteries, the size is fine, the weight is ok-ish, it seems well made and on sale it is a fair deal...but only under a hundred-fifty; more than that and i would not buy.

addendum: this is the LITE version not the better version, and i just saw it on sale elsewhere for a hundred-twenty! so this is way way overpriced. i should have googled.Get more detail about Ectaco jetBook Lite Electronic eBook Reader.

Purchase My Tooth Is About To Fall Out (level 1) (Hello Reader)

2010-06-11T14:21:00.001-07:00

My almost 6 y.o. daughter is really curious about this loose-tooth-falling-out business and so this book makes a good purchase (especially at these prices-lol).

In this book a little girl is waiting for her tooth to fall out. It covers all the usual lore about baby teeth, and then the end actually discusses the fact that children generally have 20 baby teeth and that they fall out when their roots shrink, making room for the adult teeth. So there is a little `science' at the end.

As for being a Level 1 reader, I have to say what I usually say, which is that Level 1's are in the eyes of the publishers. From my perspective, as a mom of a kindergarten aged child, I wouldn't suggest this book as a primer for newbie readers. For one thing there are words like: swimming, meatball, spaghetti, tongue, slides, nothing, through, behind, something, twenty, underneath, and dissolve. With contractions such as: she'll, I'm, brand-new, nothing's and there's.

That said, the pictures (which we liked btw) give such good clues that newer readers with a little experience under their belts should do alright.

Four Stars. Good story that is interesting for children. Good practice for newer readers - though not just-beginners. The pictures give lots of clues to help. Get more detail about My Tooth Is About To Fall Out (level 1) (Hello Reader).

Buy Pink Tranquility Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader (Version 2.0)

2010-06-10T14:21:00.001-07:00

I was looking for something to keep scratches, smudges and dirt from my Kindle. I downloaded a few textbooks in addition to my reading materials so I'm expecting to get some heavy useage. I also purchased a cover as well as a screen protection but I was concerned about finger prints, dirt and wear and tear.

I was concerned that this would be a product that wrapped totally around and therefore would cover the holes for brackets. It's two main pieces, one for the front and one for the back.

Also I was unclear about the keypad, I thought it might be individual rows punched, but there was a hole for every seperate button.

There were also seperate stickers for each of the main buttons-next page, prev page etc.

To put mine on, I carefully wiped the Kindle down with eye glass cleaning cloth lightly (very lightly moistened) with eye glass cleaner. I wanted something to get the finger prints off-but that would dry quickly and streak/droplet free. I wiped one side, let it dry for a few moments, then applied the skin. Repeating the process.

The skin itself removed very easily from the paper it was attached to, and was thick enough to not wrinkle but thin enough to easily manipulate. I was pleased that I could attempt a few times to position it properly.

Since I was looking for something to keep scratches, smudges and dirt at bay without costing an arm and a leg and without making it hard to attach it to my cover or to the charger. This product is perfect!

$15 is the perfect price in my opinion, it's a good quality product that will protect my high priced device while still cheap enough that I can easily replace it if I need or want to.Get more detail about Pink Tranquility Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader (Version 2.0).

2010-06-07T14:21:00.001-07:00

I have no one to blame but myself. I read all the reviews, and bought it anyway...figuring "it's only 12.50, it must be worth at least that"...well maybe, maybe not. The fit is atrocious. Both sides gape open (see photo), which not only makes it less effective, it's distracting as all heck when I'm holding the book. I'm constantly trying to "push" the sides down and hoping they will finally stick. But they don't. I need to be able to hold my Kindle and operate it with one hand held away from my body (I usually have a child in my lap who would like very much to push the next page button for me) and I was concerned that the other covers would be too bulky or heavy. This one does meet that requirement, and for that reason alone, I will probably keep it, at least for awhile.

It would be nice if they had made it a little bit easier to tell where the various buttons start and stop, but I haven't had too much trouble using it. The silicone is a dust and dog hair magnet, so you don't want to use this if you have a black lab ;-).

The screen protector is so so. It was no better and no worse than any of the ones I've had for my iPhone. It went on reasonably easy, and I only have 3 or 4 specks of dust which I know better than to try and remove.

Overall, I'm rather disappointed in this case. It's somewhat flimsy, and doesn't fit, but it does offer some minimal protection for my Kindle, and allows me to hold it single handed.Get more detail about Blue Color Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader Silicone Rubber Skin Case + Kindle2 Anti Scratch LCD Screen Protector.

Discount Patagonia Kindle Case (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle)

2010-06-06T14:21:00.001-07:00

I have not liked this cover since I got it. I had it one day, and one of the zippers broke (thankfully, there are two). I wanted to send it back, but the hassle isn't worth it. I should have ordered the amazon kindle cover.

The zipper that remains is very hard to maneuver, and the "stays" that are supposed to hold the kindle are awful.

The only thing I like about the cover is the fact that it zips shut.

My recommendation to new kindle buyers is to skip this cover....not worth the money!Get more detail about Patagonia Kindle Case (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle).

I bought this for my Sony Pocket reader. As a cover with a light, it serves its purpose. If you're reading at home in dim light, it works. However, I wanted more protection when I took the reader outside of the house. When I took the reader out of the house, I put the reader (with lighted jacket) in a zipper pocket that I could put in my purse. The light has two bulbs that was a bit of a bother.

2010-05-28T14:21:00.001-07:00

I ordered this set (in red) for my new Kindle 2. It is a bit thinner then I hoped (I have a silicone protector for my i-pod from Speck that is way thicker) and is a little loose- it ought to fit tighter I think. That said, it was cheap ($9 vs. $30 minimum for the leather book like covers) and gives the device a measure of protection, though I wouldn't throw it or anything. The screen protector works like it should. All in all, a fine product for the price.

2010-05-27T14:21:00.001-07:00

i was a little hesitant about getting this. I was a very nervous that it would look like a sticker I had placed on my Kindle. I am so impressed with what ever the material is because it absolutely looks like it could have come on my Kindle and not as an after market add-on. It was very simple to apply. I am very much a perfectionist and when I first put it on it was not as even as I would have liked it. (No one would have ever noticed this but it would have always bothered me) I scratched with my nail the corner and pulled it up and repositioned it a few times to get it right. I debated for a while before I did this because I was afraid after I had adhered it and pulled at it, it would become distorted. I am happy to say that it is absolutely perfect. Even the corner that I had to pry up with my fingernail looks like it had never happened. I would definately ~ with out a doubt ~ recommend this product.Get more detail about Olga Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader (Version 2.0).

M-edge Executive Jacket for Sony Reader PRS-700 (Genuine Leather--Pebbled Grey w/ Black) Review

2010-05-23T14:21:00.001-07:00

While looking for a PRS505 cover (which I knew would fit my new PRS600), I came across this item. The specs looked similar and the price was great so I gave it a try. I was mostly interested in protecting my eReader while traveling with it in a bag. It doesn't connect the way the 505 cover does, but it does fit nicely. The cover itself is a little wider than my Touch 600; however, once placed, it's very stable. While the standard cover on my 505 is just that--a cover, this M-edge Executive Jacket is made of leather, padded for extra comfort, and stuffed with little holding slots as shown in the pictures above. I preferred using my 505 without the cover, but this M-edge makes holding the reader comfortable and very "booklike." I immediately ordered another one for my son's new PRS600 after it passed his meticulous inspection. My husband is happy with the 505 and its cover. That's good because both are all his now.

Fits the Kindle 2 perfectly. The backing is not adhesive, it's micro suction cups, neat technology. It stays very secure, I've never had a problem with it and use it daily on the subway and thrown into my backpack.
I broke my Kindle and had to remove it and put it on my new one (get the extended warranty for your Kindle)
Removal is a bit difficult and the cover can stretch if you're not careful. Mostly it was perfect, but in a couple places I stretched out the cover so that a corner sticks up a little. Nothing major, but I notice it when I use that button.Get more detail about Flores Agua Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader (Version 2.0).

Buying Sony PRS-600 Electronic Book Reader in Black With Sony Premium Protective Cover w/ Built-in Reading Light

2010-05-16T14:21:00.001-07:00

What's not to like about the new Sony PRS-600 e-book reader and this discounted bundle?! For me, this e-book reader was worth the wait: better price than its predecessor, has an improved touch screen visibility, built-in dictionary just double tap any word (my favorite feature), compatibility with plenty of file formats, still has an MP3 player for audiobooks/music etc, plenty of internal memory storage and external memory card slots for more storage. But now it only comes with a soft pouch, so...

For a fraction of the cost more you still protect and enhance the reader with Sony's premium case that features a cool little swivel light which runs on only a single AAA battery, all of this at a great discount. The black-on-black looks sharp, like dressing up this slick device in a tuxedo. Perfect gift for the readers out there!

Forest Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader (Version 2.0) Best Quality

2010-05-04T14:22:00.001-07:00

As one who has had problems installing screen protectors on a PDA, I wasn't quite convinced about how easy this would be to install and whether I could get it on straight. No problems! It doesn't stick at all until you press down on it, so it's very easy to position correctly. I found using tweezers helped when covering the small buttons. The whole operation didn't take more than fifteen minutes. I love my Kindle and the only complaint I've ever had about it was why on earth Amazon chose such an ugly, plain ivory case that (in my opinion) clashes with the grey of the screen. I chose this design because its colors sort of bring it all together and now it looks great!

iRex iLiad Book Edition This instant

2010-05-02T14:24:00.001-07:00

The ILIAD Reader is of a very poor quality indeed. This is a very, very expensive piece of kit that as an electronic reader fails on every level:

1) It is TERRIBLY SLOW: it takes for ever to get started, for ever more to find the book you need, and like a tortoise when it comes to turning pages!

2) It is big and heavy: most unconfortable to hold in your hand,bulky to carry with you around.

3) It is very temperamental: I had problems with it from the begining as it would not be recognised by my computer. Also, when you are out there and in the middle of your reading experience...it all of a sudden friezes for no reason!

4) It is supposed to work with mobipocket: forget it, if what you want to use it for is books with tables and graphics (like medical books, for example), as these apppear SO SMALL that you will not be able to read them!

5) It is supposed to work with Adobe: again out of luck here, as very often the writting on the adobe documents is quite packed and small. You then need to blow it up... sounds simple?..well, IT IS NOT. You will be forever struggling with the stupid system the Iliad reader uses for this, that blows up the page you are viewing...leaving on sight only one section of it at a time. The problem is that a lot of the time you end up with the wrong bit of page! And on and on you struggle to get that right, which TAKES FOR EVER (very slow this machine...remember?) AND consumes all the battery.

6) And last, but not least, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWFUL: you will be confronted with a totaly inpersonal system whereby your questions go into anebulous cibernetic territory from which you get thrown back a reply that comes about one week later, signed by an anonymous assistant (you will NOT deal with a person), that will give you a very general reply and will not accept any responsability. And the more inpatient you get, the thicker the wall that isolates you from 'them', the more delayed the answers, the more unsuported you feel (YOU ARE).

And all of this at an outrageously expensive price! When I bought it I naively assumed the high price would be buying me high quality!!!

At least you won't be able to say that nobody warned you...

Dark Burlwood Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle E-Book Reader (Version 1.0) Top Quality

2010-05-01T14:24:00.001-07:00

I like skins. I have a Kindle 1 and a Kindle 2. My mother is using the original Kindle and I put a skin on it since the side buttons were worn smooth in some places because I read so much. The skin made the original Kindle look brand new. Had this product been available when I bought the original Kindle, it would have prevented the wear (though the wear is purely cosmetic and not very noticeable) I put a skin on my Kindle 2 right out of the box. I love the fact that I can peel off a skin and replace it as the mood strikes with a new design.Get more detail about Dark Burlwood Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle E-Book Reader (Version 1.0).

Quest Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader (Version 2.0) Review

2010-04-30T14:21:00.001-07:00

Well the skin doesn't go all the way to the edges like it shows in the picture so it actually looks like I've put a skin over my kindle instead of looking like it's part of the kindle design but that can be overlooked. Other than that I'm happy with it. It was super easy to apply, the rubbery feeling of the skin makes the kindle 2 easier to hold as I found it so slim and sleek that it actually slipped out of my hands every once in while. It also helps to keep it snug in it's case without slipping and I tried peeling the skin back to make sure it wasn't going to leave a nasty sticky residue on my kindle. I was pleased to find that, not only was there no residue, but the skin adhered right back as it was regardless of being pulled up. I know with other electronic items with white plastic that eventually your skin oils start to discolor the casing and when you clean it the finish in those frequently touched areas becomes matte and looks different from the rest of the case. With this I won't have to worry about that, and when this skin starts looking used and messy it's affordable enough to get another one or, since there is no residue, I can remove it and my kindle will still look good as new...which is great for resale value should I want to upgrade to the kindle 3 if they come out with one in the future. Overall I'm pleased, I just wish the outer border was a little thicker so it covered all the way to the edge.Get more detail about Quest Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader (Version 2.0).

Shop For Cover with Custom Light Shield +2 Aaa Batteries

2010-04-28T14:21:00.001-07:00

I was hoping to compensate for the lack of a backlight on my PRS-505 Sony Reader. Unfortunately, this product fails miserably and was a big disappointment. It obfuscates the reader's text because one side is textured to disburse the light from the weak LED lights embedded in the spine of the apparatus. You are much better off holding a flashlight in your teeth. The only good things I can say about the item is that the build quality, as far as materials, is good. That's the only thing that kept me from giving it one star. Don't buy one of these.

Where To Buy Van Gogh - Starry Night Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader (Version 2.0)

2010-04-27T14:22:00.001-07:00

I like this skin, but it doesn't cover the sides of the Kindle 2 completely. You can still see a very slim white border on the front and a silver border on back. It still looks nice and provides surface protection like it should. I think I will get a different skin that has a white background once I get tired of this Van Gogh so as to have the bordered sides that aren't covered up blend in with the skin itself. Overall, this skin is worth $14.99, and it was fairly easy to apply and reapply with no sticky residue left on the Kindle 2 when it's lifted off again and again. I had to lift it off and stretch it just a little to get the keyboard holes lined up correctly, but the whole process only took me about 15 minutes for the front, back and button stickers.

One thing to note as well, this skin makes my screen appear darker, but I don't know if that is because it's so drastic from the white color of the Kindle or a reflection of the dark skin or what. It still has a nice contrast to the eInk screen and is readable without any problems...just the device itself is much darker to look at and takes a little adjusting to get used to.

The seller, mygift, sent this skin wrapped in plastic inside a sturdy cardboard sleeve/envelope with a stiff cardboard insert to keep it from getting bent in the mail. You can tell they care about their products. Recommended. Get more detail about Van Gogh - Starry Night Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader (Version 2.0).

I absolutely love this decal, my first for my new Kindle 2. It was easy to apply, allows for repositioning, fits perfectly, and the artwork is very well done and perfect for this classic-sci-fi fan. It comes in two pieces, so it does not completely wrap around the Kindle, and the button decals are separate from the rest of the front decal so you can leave them off if you wish. I keep my Kindle in a purse pocket, and so far the decal shows no wear or damage. I especially like that it darkens the 'frame' around the screen area, making it a bit easier on my eyes. Shipping was super-fast, and I would definitely buy another decal from this seller!Get more detail about Path To The Stars Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader (Version 2.0).

Cheap Zen Design Protective Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle E-Book Reader (Version 1.0)

2010-04-22T14:22:00.001-07:00

I am very pleased with this skin. It went on easily and is staying on. I have had it on for about 2 months and not a single pealing corner.

I agree with the first reviewer, this skin looks sharp with the red cover, M-edge Genuine Leather Executive Jacket for Amazon Kindle 1 (Marbled Red). They are slightly different shades of red but not enough to make a difference to me.

One thing to watch for... when it arrived I was surprised to see that the red on the side is striped. It is my fault for not seeing it in the image. After returning to the image, I could see them. Still not very clear but it is there none the less. The striping ranges from a heather gray at the top and each successive stripe gets darker until it reaches black about halfway down the side.

The skin also comes with a bonus skin for the charger. Personally, I don't think it is as pretty as the actual skin for the Kindle. It is just red and white stripes. Maybe it looks better on the charger but I chose not to put it on.

On the screen of the Kindle in the image is a matching screen saver. Printed on the excess stickers is a code you can use to download the screen saver from the manufacturer for free. The directions for how to both download the image and set it up on the Kindle were easy to follow.

Discount Piggy and Dad: Brand New Readers

2010-04-20T14:22:00.001-07:00

So many of the absolute beginning readers seem to be more a grouping of words than an actual story. My son loves these books, because each one has a progression with a rather satisfying ending for an eight-page story. My son thinks the booklet about Piggy making a sandwich with his father is about the funniest thing he's ever read, and he tells everyone the ending of the story before he gets to it. Also, the illustrations in this series is nice and bright and colorful--much more pleasant to look at than most of the branded phonics readers. These books are giving my son confidence in reading--he has to sound out most of the words, but they are within his grasp--and he really enjoys showing off his skills with these books. I wish the books grew in levels--they seem to all be for absolute beginners--but I'm happy to have these to begin to build a strong reading foundation.Get more detail about Piggy and Dad: Brand New Readers.

Save OCTO Vintage Leather Kindle DX Book Cover with Hinge (Fits 9.7" Display, Latest Generation Kindle DX)

2010-04-19T14:22:00.001-07:00

I absolutely love the look and feel of this cover. One downside is the interior is like a felt cloth and black in color, which is already showing stains and collecting dust. I can only imagine what this sucker will look like a year from now. The leather does make the Kindle look like an ordinary book and until opened, you would likely never know a Kindle was enclosed. This might help prevent theft in case I accidentally leave the unit on a car seat or public table by accident. The second downside of a cover like this is it does not protect against sand or duct in anyway. I would like to see a combo unit which does both, but looks and feels this good. Overall, I am pleased with this cover after 2 previously failed attempts and returns.Get more detail about OCTO Vintage Leather Kindle DX Book Cover with Hinge (Fits 9.7" Display, Latest Generation Kindle DX).

This is a great skin for the kindle 2. i just bought the kindle 2.0 and knew that this version didn't come with a case like the first version did. i bought this along with the reversible sleeve by Kroo.

2010-04-12T14:22:00.001-07:00

I have used this book several times during past year for my preschool class. It is suited for elementary, but works just fine in a preschool setting. The subject matter is varied and relevant. Everything from spiders and weather to first and last day of school. The graphics copy well and the kids enjoy coloring, reading and taking home their own booklets. I especially liked the fact that not all of the booklets are the same rectangular shape. Some are accordian fold-out style others are flip books and still others are made to be cut into various shapes (e.g. bats). A very good value. I will use this one for many years to come.Get more detail about Mini Book Of The Week: 40 Easy-to-Read Mini-Books on Fiction and Nonfiction Topics for Every Week of the School Year.

Shop For iRex Digital Reader 1000S

2010-04-04T14:22:00.001-07:00

I'm an engineer using IREX DR 1000 since one month.
I use it for technical articles, reports and books in A4 size PDF formats.

Screen is nice. Large enough for A4 documents, which would be barely readable with the other smaller e-readers.
PDF can be easily viewed with a good the zoom and pan functions.
SD memory is a great PRO, since you have large memories ( I tried up to 8 Mb ) and easily switch between several SD's.
Unfortunately is slow, if you open large scanned files you have to wait seconds every time you switch a page.
Not a big problem while reading, but a nightmare if you're flipping through a book looking for something.
Too bulky for reading novels and battery lasts few hours only.

Conclusions :
- IREX DR 1000 is the only good e-reader for professionals at dec 2009.
- Since I have to buy 10 e-readers for our office, I'll wait two more months to see the new Plastic Logic QUE before buying other 10 IR DR 1000

Purchase 2-Year Extended Warranty for Kindle (6" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation)

2010-04-02T14:22:00.001-07:00

I do not have this brand but wanted to let you know of the alternative provider called SquareTrade that allows you to buy this, with accident coverage too, for a total of 3 years, for much less $. Look for discount codes on the internet and make sure you add the option for accident, spills, and drops. It still adds up to less. I have their warranties on other products too but cannot speak to their service since I have not made a claim. I gave this 5 stars since it may well be a fine policy and I will not punish their rating, but I wanted people to look for options. At the lower price I felt quite comfortable paying for a warranty.Get more detail about 2-Year Extended Warranty for Kindle (6" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation).

Buy Sony PRS-300RC Digital Reader Pocket Edition in Rose w/ Premium Protective Cover

2010-04-01T14:21:00.001-07:00

I just sent back my Sony PRS-300RC.

The reader itself works quite well.

But the required software interface, the Sony ebook library, apparently has compatibility issues with Vista.

Intermittently, and finally permanently, the ebook transfer from the library onto my ereader caused a window to pop up saying: "ebook reader has stopped working." I tried removing the hidden/system attributes from my ebooklibrary.exe so it could be added to the DEP exclusions list, but that didn't work. Temporarily turned off my Norton protection, too, but that didn't help, either.

My plan for the future is to wait until these issues are resolved. I must say, I resent being essentially a Beta tester for an ereader.

For now, it's back to real books for me.Get more detail about Sony PRS-300RC Digital Reader Pocket Edition in Rose w/ Premium Protective Cover.

Cheapest M-Edge Latitude Jacket for Sony Reader Pocket Edition (Red/Black)

2010-03-29T14:22:00.001-07:00

I bought this jacket & the M Edge Light for my silver Sony Pocket Reader. It's great fit, sturdy, with good construction. The Jacket has two pockets: 1 zipper pocket in the front that can hold the USB cord or the Light. The back pocket is a light tight & would best serve as a pocket for folded paper. This is also a "slot" for the base for the light.

With this jacket, I feel really comfortable about putting my reader in my purse. It'll protect it from bumps, scratches & purse "crumbs". I bought the Sony Jacket w/the Light, but returned it because it didn't offer all the protection I needed. Both Jackets are a little pricey, but the the money, the M Edge is much better!Get more detail about M-Edge Latitude Jacket for Sony Reader Pocket Edition (Red/Black).

The Struggling Reader: Interventions That Work Right now

2010-03-24T14:22:00.001-07:00

The authors of this iteration of reading strategies offer a comprehensive, easy to read, and relatively concise text covering related facets of reading skills and interventions. This book is probably most helpful to (but not limited to) those teachers whose university experience covering reading instruction consisted of the "Whole Language" reading instruction approach, in which phonics was a big no-no. The strategies in this text will help fill in those instructional gaps. Details include descriptions of types of struggling readers (ELL, LD, unmotivated, etc.), skills needed for efficient, successful reading, a prevention/intervention framework, and a plethora of strategies to implement that framework.
What did I like about this book? I liked the examples (and non-examples!), easy-to-read layout/organization and charts, and descriptions of terms and strategies. Get more detail about The Struggling Reader: Interventions That Work.

When I contacted Extacto, I was offered an upgrade to EBM 911 for an additional 85.00 which I paid. I received the new reader and everything was fine until September,2009 when I tried to download 2 titles. After contacting Mobipocket and another website where I purchase ebooks, I was told that Ebookman 911 was no longer supported by this software.

Sony PRS-600 Electronic Book Reader in Black With Brown Premium Cover and AC Charger Adapter Top Quality

2010-03-16T14:22:00.001-07:00

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R32TZP4VU9MFWG The video includes a few of my favorite features on the Sony, but misses things like the dictionary and audio options - since you can use up to a 16g SD chip - it is also possible to carry some of your albums with you, permitting the reader to substitute as an mpg player as well.

This particular model comes with the cover AND the A/C Adapter - which is why the price is a bit higher, but it is a great option. The 600 comes with a little clutch bag instead of a cover, and most of us have discovered that a cover is necessary. It not only protects the screen, but it is the best way to clip on a light if you are reading in a dark location.

Since the Sony comes with a USB connector that also charges it, some do not feel the A/C adapter is necessary, but it was my first purchase after I bought the Sony! I plug it in at night (just like I do my cell-phone and other necessary items) and it is always fresh to read in the morning. The A/C adapter is also essential when I am traveling, since I do not always have my laptop available to charge it. While the Sony has 7,000 page turns on the battery, I read in large print, meaning I turn the pages quite frequently, and can't go more than 2-3 days without a charge.

If you prefer to purchase a cover and charger separately, there is actually no savings to the package deal. However, if you are purchasing this as a gift, including everything as a package is a very nice idea.

I have been following the e-book readers for some time, and I wanted several things for me to "jump on the bandwagon."

1) I have a number of PDF reference books, so a Reader needs to handle these well. Since my books are text, these reflow well on the Sony.

2) Because I will use (and now am using) the Reader for reference books, it was important that I be able to access my notes directly from my computer to use in other documents. I actually began using the software on my desktop several months before I purchased the 600, and was pleased with its capabilities.

3) I enjoy the free epub books from my library. The Sony accesses these easily. There are also a number of locations besides Sony selling the epub or Adobe digital books (usable by the Sony Touch) giving me more choice in my decision.

4) The Touch handles my regular documents well - as a public speaker, I love having my speeches available to study on the reader, without having to print them out!

But for those looking for the points I already love (thus the 5 stars)
1) I love having the touch turn capability, just a brush of my thumb!
2) I enjoy the sideways and zoom features for PDFs that you want to keep "standard"
3) After only a couple of minutes, I forgot I was even using a reader and I got involved in the book.

*** I live in an isolated area - so neither Whispernet for the Kindle nor the upcoming 3G connection on the more expensive Daily model would be helpful - I'm just as happy to order my books "in advance" and carry them with me.

Some people have mentioned the glare - since my previous reading was on my laptop - this isn't an issue for me. I keep my lighting at my side, and it is not a problem at all. It is more noticeable in a dark room with a single light source. My favorite reading location is outdoors.

Another issue I have encountered isn't with the reader - but with the interaction between Windows and the software. It is pretty touchy, and I have had to use Sony Support to adjust settings on Windows to make it work correctly.Get more detail about Sony PRS-600 Electronic Book Reader in Black With Brown Premium Cover and AC Charger Adapter.

The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup and a Spool of Thread Review

2010-03-15T14:22:00.001-07:00

The hardcover version of this book is beautifully put together, with it's mouse-torn pages and wonderful illustrations. Unfortunately, the story did not live up to it's binding. "Despereaux" follows the lives of a handful of characters who, mostly through no choice of their own, live with unfortunate circumstances. Throughout the story, the characters are beaten down even more, mentally and/or physically. It's not until the last few pages that the author attempts to resolve the issues, but at that point the reader has been bombarded with so much negativity that the point of the story is lost, and it's hard to feel any satisfaction from the ending.

I can understand what the author was trying to do - the whole light verses dark theme - but I feel it was poorly executed. Perhaps she was trying to relate to too many real-life situations her readers might be going through - illness, physical differences, abuse, abandonment, stereotypes, racism, perfidiousness (the author's favorite), etc - but I trust that young readers can empathize and relate without having each situation explicitly represented. Perhaps she could have cut back a few and achieve the light and dark balance she was trying to attain.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not the type of person that wants a candy-coated happy ending in all my stories, in fact I'm a sucker for a good tragedy. I'm not the type of person that thinks we should shield children from the realities of real-life - the unfounded hatred and violence, and unfortunate situations, that occurs. I am, however, a person born with a rare syndrome and have had health challenges my whole life, and also struggled with looking 'different' because of it - I think I know a thing or two about finding light in life. If that is the goal of this story, it fails to capture it. Get more detail about The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup and a Spool of Thread.

Where To Buy M-Edge Prodigy Genuine Leather Kindle Jacket with Hinge (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle), Pebbled Purple

2010-03-12T14:22:00.001-08:00

I ordered this jacket for my Kindle a few hours after I opened the device on Christmas Day. I looked at a number of jackets before settling on this one, and now that I've been using it for a week or two, I can honestly say that I love it!

Highlights of this item:

*The purple is a beautiful, muted shade that is stylish and elegant without looking too kiddish (which is how I thought the bright blue or green covers in this same model would come off).

*The hinge/hook system holds your Kindle firmly in place, and the corner straps hold down the edges to prevent the side-cracking that some users have mentioned in reviews of other covers.

*The inside of the jacket is lined in a gray, suede-like material that is soft and pleasant to the touch. It also has a few pockets in which you can store paper items (like a boarding pass).

My only criticism of the jacket pertains to the corner straps which hold down the right corners of the device, as they occasionally slide off the corners of my Kindle after swimming in the black hole I call my handbag. Other than that, I have no complaints. This is a great purchase!!Get more detail about M-Edge Prodigy Genuine Leather Kindle Jacket with Hinge (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle), Pebbled Purple.

Buy M-Edge Prodigy Genuine Leather Kindle Jacket with Hinge (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle), Smooth Light Pink

2010-03-11T14:22:00.001-08:00

I have the new generation Kindle for about a year, now. I love the way it reads, and I have never had so much fun reading before. The ease on my eyes is wonderful, and the ability to change the font paramount. I originally purchased the leather case from Amazon to house my Kindle. It would fall out at times, even when clicked in the metal hinges at the side. Lucky for me, my Kindle was never affected. But, I was always nervous. I like to read at night, in a car. I purchased the light that clips on to the Kindle. It was a great source of light, IF I remembered to take the light. Along comes this cover. It not only holds the Kindle securely in place, there is a place for a light to store along side the Kindle, even when not in use. The leather is soft, and of a superior quality. When closed, there is an extra tab that secures the top and bottom parts of the cover. I'm thrilled! I chose the light pink cover, as part of the purchase price goes toward breast cancer research, and that was important to me. Try it, in one of many colors. You'll love it, as I do and now I take my Kindle along without worry.
