B&N's Contemporary Nook Wireless Portable Reading Device Confronts Amazon's Electronic Book Reader
Through proprietary formats, when you get a novel for digital download from Amazon it will arrive in their specific file format .AZW which only allows you to open it on amazon's wireless reading device. So if in the future, obviously after you have have checked out all the digital book readers for the latest model at the best price, you then decided you wanted to switch reading devices to a different make, your library of digitally downloaded books turn out to be useless. Make your own mind up if that is evenhanded or not.
That situation has been a big sticking point for the industry in common but also for the manufacturers of other ebook readers in particular. They where never going to be able to offer the quantity of novels Amazon.com where capable of doing and so this helped sales of the Kindle . And so they present aid for more file formats, particularly the Adobe .PDF, which is a much loved format for free electronic books, but this format does not mimic a scaled down form of text too good as it was always meant to be reproducing text at an A4 size, perfect for the Amazon dx and iLiad ereaders but not so for the little 5,6 and 7 inch screens.
For this reason came the Epub format, an open source format intended to display text. It is fast emerging as the standard of the future and has recieved backing from the likes of Google Library who should be releasing their complete one million titles, of which the best part are at no cost to down load, in this format. B&N will also be going the same way to the same degree will the Sony-Store.
Therefore you may see that any electronic book reading device that has backing for this standard will be future proof. B&N's Nook Wireless book reader has .Epub backing, as does the Sony Daily Edition, and so you can download your electronic books from anywhere you prefer, paid for or free, moreover not just from the manufacturer of the portable reading device , which is the case with the Kindle electronic books reader.
