Book-worms the world over have reason to rejoice, as booksellers, libraries, tech companies and e-commerce sites all work to drum up new ways to cash in on the e-book reading craze.
As one of the new must-have gadgets, e-readers have taken the populace by storm, with announcements about new varieties and updated versions coming on the market every quarter, as companies tout the success of the devices.
Dan Costa, executive editor of PCMag.com, said that although e-readers have been around for some time, the current digital reading renaissance can be credited to the expansion of wireless Internet.
"The infrastructure is just now catching up, and since a lot of these devices are wireless, you can literally take the device out of the box and can go shopping and make a purchase inside of 30 seconds," Costa said. "It allows for more impulse buys," which is something readers like.
This ability to buy new books at the touch of a button, and the devices’ ease of use has given reading a whole new appeal, and as prices for e-readers continue to fall, more consumers are expected to adopt the technology.
Here’s a list of some the best-selling e-reading options available to help consumers decide how best to get their read on.
1. Amazon Kindle
2. Apple iPad
3. Barnes & Noble Nook
4. Borders Kobo
5. Entourage Edge
