So you’re sold on e-book readers and rightly so: bringing 1000 works of literature to your fingertips at the touch of a button has to be better than rooting through 1000 paperbacks occupying almost a square metre and weighing 340 kilograms!But now that the first generation truly usable, affordable and convenient e-readers is available which to go for?The main players in the market are Hanlin (stylish), Bebook (versatile), Cybook (impressively simple), Amazon, with the popular Kindle’, and Sony, who’s lightweight, slimline e-book reader is selling like hotcakes and is perhaps the most likely to become the Ipod’ of e-readers.There are some good sites where you can compare e-book reader specs for yourself, but, as one of few people I know who have used them all, I’ll run through a summary of the pros and cons of each, and which one I’d advise going for at time of writing.Bebook ReviewNetherlands-based Bebook hav Zakk Wylde guitars e a strong contender in the Bebook reader. First off, it’s just a nice-looking gadget. Not austerely handsome like the Hanlin, nor ultra-sleek like the Sony (which is surely designed for gadgeteers rather than book-lovers) but pleasing to the eye, and well designed for its purpose.Battery life on the Bebook is comparatively high at over 7,000 page turns though frankly all of the popular readers have more than enough juice to satisfy an avid reader.The Bebook comes with 150 classic titles pre-intalled, and with over 20,000 more titles available for download free from Bebook’s official site, it is undoubtedly a good-value package.Where Bebook scores better still is on compatibility. The device has been made to take just about any format you can think of (a huge advantage over the Kindle). You won’t have to worry about whether your reader can handle a particular e-book it has completely universally compatibility.
