When our thoughts turn to digital book readers the Ectaco jetbook e book reader is probably not the first name to spring to mind. Am I correct? The main reason for this is the marketing power and budget the two main players in the digital book readers market have at their disposal. You would think that there was only Kindle and Sony digital book readers out there and this is all down to the power of marketing, in my opinion, as the facts are now emerging from the many ebook reader reviews that the two leading digital book readers may not as good as they would like to have you believe.
The hype that surrounded the launch of the Kindle 2 digital book reader earlier this year was staggering but unfortunately the ebook reader reviews have some what slated this model. A lot of the online criticism centers around what formats the Kindle digital book readers can and can’t handle and also their own locked file format.
After visiting many of the online ebook reader reviews it seemed that the general consensus for the Kindles position as top selling digital book reader was above all else the availability of reading material. The word from the ebook reader reviews was – there are better digital book readers about, and with the file formats they are now able to support, the question of availability of books had been, to a certain point, at least, answered.
So off I trundled to find me a viable alternative to the over hyped Kindle digital book reader. With a few re-visits to those trusty ebook reader reviews I had decided on the Ectaco jetbook e book reader. Here was a digital book reader that not only matched the two best selling digital book readers but in a lot of areas the Ectaco jetbook e book reader beats them hands down.
Here’s a run down of the Ectaco jetbook e book reader features:
* Support for e-Book contents in Albanian, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Faroese, Finnish, French, Galilean, German, Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian and other European languages.
* Bookmark and automatic page turn function.
* Choice of two font types and six font sizes.
* Screen turns through ninety degrees to view portrait & landscape modes.
* MP3 player that supports background playback great for Audio books.
* Supports .txt, .pdf, ePub capability and .jpg file formats
* SD card slot for up to 2gb expansion
* Built in li-ion polymer rechargeable battery – over 6000 page turns per charge
Includes Power adapter; USB 2.0 cable; Storage Pouch; User’s Manual;
No full blown ebook reader reviews here, there are plenty of those about but I know if you are looking at digital book readers then the Ectaco jetbook e book reader is worth your time checking it out.

Are you a heavy reader?, do you take your books with you every where you go?; yes, then you are going to really enjoy the Sony digital book reader. Those clever people at Sony have come up with something extra special and made with book lovers in mind. This PRS505 review will show you why the the Sony digital book reader is the number one way for you to experience the next generation of eBooks.
The slim, compact design, of the Sony digital book reader, gives you the space to store, and carry with you, your complete collection of books easily. Imagine the clutter you can do away with at home just by having your whole library of books all loaded onto your Sony digital book reader and the ease with which you can transport that collection whenever and where ever you go.
The cutting edge e-ink? technology delivers crystal clear graphics, text and a paper like appearance on the Sony digital book reader 150mm screen, this lets you to read in all levels of sunlight. The 170 pixels per inch, that the screen delivers, makes certain that the Sony digital book reader maintains the finest details of text and black and white pictures, while the 150mm screen gives close to a 180? viewing field. The lack of flicker and no back light results in an easy to read screen with not a hint of eye strain for the user, something that happens when reading from a laptop screen.
This PRS505 Review found that the Sony digital book reader comes in at a mere 260 grams and measures just 8mm thick- sorry I’m sure that should be thin, this means that the Sony digital book reader is smaller than most paper back books, much lighter than a hard back, and slimmer than the vast majority of books making it the perfect travel companion.
A fully charged battery lasts a total of approximately 7000 pages ? that?s more than 10 large novels worth of reading! When finally the battery does need a charge, you will be up and running again in just 4 hours thanks to the USB charger supplied when you purchase the Sony digital book reader.
Other useful features include a magnification option allowing you to magnify text size up to three times, if you have difficulty with your sight or just prefer large print, and the Sony digital book reader cleverly reorganises the books pages to compensate for the changes. The PRS505 even has an automated bookmark feature meaning there is no reason to ever lose your place again!
You can see, from this PRS505 review, the opportunities that the Sony digital book reader offers you to move your reading material around with you. Whether you’re relaxing on your holiday, passing the time away while commuting to and from your work or simply taking your chance of some solitude; away from the crowds; enjoying your own company; this Sony digital book reader (loaded with your favorite ebooks of cause) will be the perfect travel companion.
Here’s some of the Sony digital book reader specification discovered during our PRS505 Review.

* Easy to Read Even In Direct Sunlight
* Magnify Text Sizes By Up To 3X
* Optional Memory Stick To Expand Book Storage Capacity

Since the launch of the Kindle and Sony digital book readers the Internet has been alive with ebook reader reviews for those particular rather expensive models but not a mention of any real alternative digital book readers, that was until I recently came across a clutch of Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader reviews on the Amazon site, and what good reading they made.
Getting to the bottom of the Ectaco jb 5 jetbook with this diagram.
What a surprise, digital book readers in the past had been, or so it seemed, confined to the big two of the Amazon Kindle or Sony PRS, I do exclude the iRex iLiad range of digital book readers ’cause even though I’m a big reader, I have no desire to take out a second mortgage to turn digital. These Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader reviews had renewed my interest in digital book readers so I decided to finally take the plunge and purchased the Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader, after all I did have 30 days to give it the once over and see if the 21st century was where I wanted to be!
Just five days later it appeared, I was as exited as a kid at Christmas and itching to get my hands on this piece of cutting edge technology, so I hurriedly ripped the packing off my newly acquired Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader. I had chosen the red model from the colour range on offer, which if I remember correctly where red, white, grey and black, and was please with the overall finish of the digital book readers case which had a pebbled finish, even though it plastic it is in no way cheap and flimsy but exactly the opposite – it has a rugged feel to it like it would take the bumps and bashes of everyday use. As I mentioned, the case is finished with a pebble effect which lends itself to better grip, the buttons are solid; not too small; not to big.
The Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader screen breaks with other digital book readers thinking, where as most employ E-ink technology Ectaco have stuck with what they know and have installed their tried and tested LCD screen from their translators. This results in a back-lit less that could be easily mistaken for E-ink as the image is still and easy to read but lacks the bad E-ink trait of flicker when you turn the page.
The Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader comes with two standard fonts, both san-serif: Arial and Verdana, no doubt taking their lead from the fact they think digital book readers will be used solely by computer users who are used to these font types, by default, I for one would have liked a choice of possibly two serifed font types, it may be possible to add fonts but I have neither seen this in the user manual or in any Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader reviews. The font size is also changeable – from 12 all the way up to 32 point in six increments, which by the way is one more than the Sony 700 series digital book readers and 3 more than the PRS505
A built in dictionary also comes as standard on the Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader, something the Sony range of digital book readers still lack. The dictionary is extensive as you would expect from a company who built their reputation with electronic translators and dictionaries. Their English-Russian, English-Polish, and English explanatory dictionaries built into the Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader let you instantly translate any selected words.
With the Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader you are able to quickly and easily group ebooks together into folders, then you can access the directory display in the file system to find them just as easily, the Kindle and Sony should take note and add this feature to their models, something I’m sure users of their digital book readers would appreciate.
The menu and options on the Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader are easy to access and navigate and transfer rate comes in as good, it was slower than the Sony but not really slow enough to bother me, after all reading is supposed to be stress free and relaxing, what’s the rush. The devices screen can rotate through ninety degrees an operation that works smoothly for me and allows easy viewing of pictures, the Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader handles all popular image file formats and produces a crystal clear, crisp image.
For me the Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader scores highly for everything except the pointless, under powered MP3 player and the page turn ( back/forward) slider situated on the left side of the screen. Firstly, the mp3 plays low quality audio so would handle audio books no probs but when asked to stream higher bit rate MP3’s forget it – stick to your iPod – it’s rubbish. Secondly, the slider that is used to turn the page on the Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader just can not be used one handed confidently, I feel though every time I try I’m going to drop my digital book reader and do it some serious damage.
So there is my contribution to Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader reviews, oh and my Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader never did get returned, it’s now nearly 12 months old and I will never return to paper backs…digital book readers are here to stay…welcome to the
21st century.

Word is that the range of Amazon Kindle digital book readers, available in the U.S., will not make it to these shores anytime in the near future but the U.K. market now has it’s very own digital book readers in the form of the impressive Sony digital book reader.
The Sony Reader PRS-505, which was released in this country in September 2008, is available to buy online from the following retailers:
* Waterstones UK
* WH Smiths Online
* Direct from Sony UK
It holds approximately 150 normal sized novels and uses the revolutionary E-ink technology, on the 150mm screen, that results in a clear, crisp, flicker free paper like contrast which closely matches a traditional book reading experience. The lack of back light reduces eyestrain and is only seen as a problem in poor reading light, much the same as reading normal books.
One charge will enable the user to read and turn about 7000 pages, it also has a text magnification option, ideal for those with sight problems, that allows you to increase the text size by up to 3 times, a bookmark facility so as you never loose your place again. It is able to handle many of the most popular file formats like Word documents, PDFs and also plays MP3 files, it comes loaded with 100 titles to get you on the road. Many other titles are available online from Waterstones or the Sony shop.
Operating the Sony digital book reader is so simple. Just switch it on via the “on/off” switch located on top of the reader, then use any of the buttons to help you navigate the Sony digital book reader features/options.
Here’s what the buttons do:
* Page back / forward – There’s a round control below the screen to turn the page forward and back. There’s also two handy buttons to the right of the screen, great when using one hand to operate
* Zoom – Three times magnification is supported
* Bookmark – A tiny button situated on the left side for bookmarking pages
* Menu Button – Self explanatory… used to return to the electronic book readers main menu.
* Side buttons – A total of ten all down the right side of the screen, used to select books, chapters, table of contents & etc
* Navigation – The round control wheel on the right side just under the screen used to navigate around pages – usually PDF documents,
* Volume Up/Down- Bottom of the reader for headphone volume.
The Sony electronic book readers are also able to handle audio file formats (MP3 and unprotected AAC files), as I mentioned before, which gives you MP3 playback which is handy as you can playback music at the same time as reading, or for that matter make use of the range of audio books from the likes of audible.co.uk (please note that Audible.co.uk employs formats that are DRM protected which means you are unable to play them back on the Sony electronic book readers).
Uploading books onto Sony electronic book readers is so easy too. The digital book readers are supplied with a CD of Sony eBooks. Using the CD, you can upload books, audio and photos into your virtual library, then copy them across to the Sony digital book reader by plugging into a USB slot on the computer or laptop. The USB lead comes in the box when you make your purchase, and is also used to charge the Sony digital book reader. For anyone not up to using the software, the digital book readers simply appear as a drive in the My Computer location, where you just use click-and-drag to transfer files.
All in all the Sony digital book reader is a rather handy gadget to have at your disposal and has an impressive screen that gives you real clarity when in use. I know a lot of you will feel this is a step too far and will not want to make the change from a paper back book to the electronic book readers equivalent, but there are a multitude of reasons why just as many of you will love this cutting edge technology and jump at the chance to join the 21st century reading revolution.

“The Sony digital book reader is perfect when spending time away from home”
“I managed to pick up the Sony digital book reader ( model PRS 505) from the Sony UK website in the summer and it has to be the very best of all electronic book readers.”
“I am abroad for up to 5 months of the year on lengthy work assignments and trying to find suitable reading material can be a problem. So I purchased the Sony Digital Book Reader with a view to take a couple of dozen novels away on my last job away. To be honest I didn’t get any peace when using my Sony Digital Book Reader PRS 505 as I was constantly being interrupted by people asking to have look at the ebook reader. Like me they were totally blown away by the crispness of the text being displayed on the PRS 505’s screen. It is really like reading a physical book and my eyes have never suffered from eyestrain even after prolonged use.”
“The Sony Digital Book Reader PRS 505 proved to be the perfect travel companion when away from home. I will never have to fill the suitcase with books again. I will now have more room for the Duty Free.”
“My Sony Digital Book Reader is absolute quality. Another surefire winner from the Sony stable.”
“Pick the Sony Digital Book Reader up, place it in your hands and be impressed by the build quality of these electronic book readers. No more books for me.”
“I managed to get my hands on one of these babies (the Sony Digital Book Reader) a few weeks back and have used it to view PDF files which great effect. Have also blasted thru a couple of the novels that came free with the prs 505 reader and it’s still only on the first charge. Don’t bother looking at the other electronic book readers on the market, the Sony Digital Book Reader is the best money can buy.”
“I can’t wait for Waterstone’s to get up to speed with a decent range of ebooks for my Sony digital book reader”.
So if you are serious switching from paper books to using electronic book readers, the Sony digital book reader not only has industry leading specification but it is available to purchase directly from Sony UK and is fully supported by the company in the United Kingdom.

The rapid progression of technology has recently seen the ebook reader device start the inevitable expansion into new and lucrative areas, this has resulted in heated competition between those models at the forefront of this market. There is huge potential for the ebook reader device to be used more in business and education with the capability to rapidly alter data and transmit it all around the world, and with ever increasing applications for leisure use, like newspaper and news RSS feeds as well as their ability to store a massive amount of eBooks, play MP3 files and handle a multitude of file formats, all serving to increase the ebook reader device seemingly endless market expansion.
A Sony 700 eBook Reader Review
There many models available but only the four main players, featured in this ebook reader review, are fighting it out for top spot at the time of writing, they are the Sony ebook reader device, the iRex iLiad, the Amazon Kindle and the BeBook ebook reader. The best way to highlight the pros and cons is take a quick look at each ebook reader device, which may be of interest to you if you want to buy an eBook reader device.
Amazon Kindle
The first model we are going to look into is the Kindle, the most recognized ebook reader device in this ebook reader review, it is, by the way, the current number one seller which is only available to purchase in the U.S. The Kindle benefited greatly from all the hype, generated by the marketing suits, when it was first launched, and the result seemed to be that sales matched that hype, with eBook publishers in general being surprise at just how well their eBooks have sold because of this particular ebook reader device.
The Kindle is a unique looking ebook reader device, when compared to the competition, but given just how popular this model has proved to be and the positive feedback it has received, most users will freely admit it is both the ugliest and the hardest one to operate. The biggest gripe seems to be the clutter of buttons and the Kindles inability to handle straight off the popular PDF file format, which it has to convert to its very own file format.
So with all the above negatives, just why is the Kindle out there on its own as the favorite ebook reader device. Well it has to boil down to the amount of eBooks, newspapers and magazines available for the Kindle. This is the area where the Kindle beats all contenders hands down in this ebook reader review. The screen also scores highly as does the smooth scroll button.
Sony eBook Reader Device PRS 505
The next ebook reader device we look at is the Sony PRS 505. After their unsuccessful debut into the market, this is Sony’s second offering and it’s unrecognizable from that first attempt. This model stands out as not only easier on the eye than the original but it also stands head and shoulders above the Kindle in the looks department, not so much a boyz toy as a mans machine, it oozes style and class from every pore. Even though the screen comes in a tad smaller it also utilizes E-ink technology and the contrast is at least on par with the kindle and every other ebook reader device on sale at present. It comes with the Sony standard Pro Duo slot along with other external slots including one USB slot.
The Official Kindle 2 eBook Reader Review
Another big advantage it has over the Kindle is the Sony PRS505’s support for more files format’s most notably PDF and Word files/text documents, plus of cause its own unique file type. It will also read picture files such as JPG, GIF and PNG, and in addition to those it will also play your MP3 files, a nice touch if like me you enjoy some light background music when reading for pleasure.
Where as on the original Sony ebook reader device the control buttons where situated below the screen (this area is now taken up by the page turning thumb wheels} they are now positioned on the right side of the 505’s screen and are smaller than previously. The size, weight and shape of the Sony lends itself to be more easily handled than the Kindle but as with all things a lot of this comes down to personal preference and what suits one person may not necessarily suit another.
By and large, this ebook reader device is, in my opinion, superior in many departments to the Kindle but falls below the standard set by the Kindle with regards the amount of digital books/novels freely available to buy. This limits the purchaser to only eBooks from the Sony shop, not the end of the world as they do start from only ?3 but still it’s always better to have a choice.
iRex iLiad Digital Book Reader
Read an iLiad eBook Reader Review before you buy
Our ebook reader review found the iRex iliad to have a decent sized screen again employing E-ink technology and returning an impressive sixteen gray shades, more than any ebook reader device we compared in this ebook reader review. This results in a superior image contrast to the other models. This does come at a price in both price, the iLiad is the most expensive of any eBook reading device we compared, and also the shortest battery life.
As a result of the increased screen spec, the iRex iLiad seems to perform sluggishly when page turning, compared to the others, with a definite pause and a quite noticeable “ghosting” on the screen while carrying out that operation
The iRex iLiad digital book reader is able to handle most file formats, but, if you are paying the extra for this eBook reading device, you will want to experience the superior image quality it provides when reading the eBook format. The iLiad has the required quota of slots including the SD card slot which allows you to expand the memory capacity and so store even more books. An advantage it holds over other readers is the ability, through the supplied pen device, to edit documents and select options on screen, though be careful as if you misplace this you will be unable to access all the iRex iLiad’s options and features.
BeBook E-Ink Reader
Possibly the most surprising inclusion in our ebook reader review is the BeBook E-ink ebook reader device. Th BeBook is, in our opinion, the easiest to use of all the makes and models included in our ebook reader review. The easy to navigate menu is further aided by the general design and layout of the buttons, add to this the ability to customize a large number of options to your personal reading requirements and you end up with the most user friendly ebook reader device of all.
But that is not the end of it, the BeBook also supports the largest number of file formats, at present that number is a staggering 25, including PDF, DOC, EPUB, PPT, TXT, HTML, RTF, BMP, JPG, PNG, GIF, TIF, DJVU, FB2, WOL, CHM, RAR, ZIP, MP3 and even Microsoft LIT.
None of this is of any use if, for one, the battery life is rubbish, two, the memory is minuscule, and three, the screen contrast leaves you with eye strain and squinting.
Well this ebook reader review can honestly say the BeBook ebook reader device not only matches the other models in each of the above areas but also surpasses them in some areas. Let me explain.
The BeBook ebook reader device will give you more page turns than any of the other model reviewed here, it also has a large 512 MB internal memory expandable by means of the SD card slot and the screen, which also features that cutting edge E-ink technology, is easily readable with a contrast only bettered by the iRex iLiad. What about available titles I hear you asking, well with the BeBook now supporting Mobipocket DRM, one of the prolific e-publisher formats, there will be no shortage of both commercial and free titles for you to choose from.
One final plus for the winner of our ebook reader review is this ebook reader device, unlike better known competitors, can be purchased and is supported worldwide, something that is of great importance when choosing your best buy eBook reader.

It has only been in recent years that digital book readers have started to gain in popularity. The number one reason for this being the inability of past digital book readers to give its user an easy reading experience.
This new generation of digital book readers, boasting lower power consumption from the E-paper and cutting edge E-ink technology, is set to put this right. You can now read an ebook or document even in the brightest sunlight easily and without your battery going flat on you. Just a 3 hour battery charge is going to give you at least seven thousand pages to read. For those who’s sight is failing, or maybe you just enjoy large print, the Bebook digital book readers give you the ability to alter the text size to suit your eyesight or preference – no more worrying if you have forgotten your glasses.

The memory on this little beauty is big enough to hold your whole collection of books and then some. You’ll only ever need the Bebook to store your whole bookcase, documents and study material.

It boasts a 150mm anti glare, reflective screen, a SD card slot, 512MB of internal storage and a USB connector. The Bebook revolutionary wireless reading device has dimensions of 184mm x 120mm x a very slim 10mm and it only weighs 220 gr, with the battery fitted.
And the positives do not stop there, this revolutionary wireless reading device comes in a fair bit less expensive than the better known digital book readers, namely the Sony e-book reader and the Amazon Kindle 2. And you will never want for something to read either as it also boasts an impressive catalogue of 80,000 plus books – with more being continually added. The average e-book novel will cost around ?3 (%5), and that’s not all, as this revolutionary wireless reading device can read 25 file formats you will undoubtedly find plenty of reading material, on the net, you are able to download for free.
To conclude my BeBook Review, the plain leather case, that is supplied with the BeBook range of digital book readers, epitomises the class oozing from ever pore of this reader. When it is possible to get all the above for a shockingly affordable ?229 (%180), why not let the BeBook revolutionary wireless reading device change the way you read for the better.
