E-readers Everywhere!!!


It seems as if everyday another company jumps into the eReader market.  Everyone wants a piece of the Amazon Kindle money, just like everyone wants a piece of the iPod/iPhone business.  It appears that the eReader is the latest and greatest frontier.  Next into the market is Asus.  The reports say that the most likely time for the reader to appear is late 2009.  I am guessing most  likely for the holiday season.  Joining Asus is another rumor that MSI is also looking into releasing a reader of its own.  So, we have two of the biggest netbook makers looking to branch out.  Well, they already have 10″ screens available.  Personally, I am all for competition.  That leads to the best products at the best prices.  Right now, we have Amazon, Sony, Samsung, Plastic Digital/Barnes & Noble, Asus, and maybe MSI.  So, bring on the eReader showdown!!!

I can’t wait for these to really come down in price. A little competition might be just what the doctor ordered!

I am waiting to see what Barnes & Noble comes out with. I currently have a ton of eBooks from eReader, which B&N now owns. I am really hoping that they enable these to be used on their eBook reader…whatever it is. If nothing ever comes out with support for eReader, then I doubt I will waste my money when I can keep reading on my iPhone.

This new eReader race is interesting. I received a survey from the book club I belonged to asking if I would buy an ereader if it was $99. I’m sure a lot of people would.
