I happen to know a few people out there are considering purchasing themselves an e-book reader. With so many choices, and new ones popping up as quickly as my cravings for chocolate cupcakes, it can be a jungle out there! Truth is, there isn’t one perfect e-reader and we are all looking for different features. I happened to pick the Kindle because it was the only one with wireless(whispernet) at the time and Amazon has by far the widest selection of books (oh and I had a discount code from Oprah!). Now there are a few more options to consider.

Being the math nerd that I am I thought I would spend my Saturday night making a chart. Why yes, I do lead a highly exciting life, its ok to be jealous! Without further babbling from me, I give you my popular e-reader comparison chart. Below it is a comparison chart for some of the larger sized (and soon to be released) e-book readers.

My small disclaimer (hah! not done babbling!) – these charts do NOT cover all the e-readers available out there. There are many many more and you can see an even bigger sampling of them here. This is just my attempt to make it a bit less confusing based on the ones I *think* you are considering.

Big thanks go out to Fiction Vixen and her mad photoshop skills! She helped me update my header to include my Kindle…. now the Kindle Just needs a skin and an Oberon cover on it to be perfectly accurate! Just kidding, its perfect, big thanks!

Some Kindle News:
First – there was a post on Engadget.com yesterday with some photos and reviews of the Nook yesterday. The link was originally here: http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/barnes-and-nobles-nook-gets-a-brief-and-early-hands-on/ but it looks like its been taken down. First impressions were that the browser/operating system was sluggish. IReader Review goes into further detail here.

Second- IReader Review corrects the rumors that having a Kindle restricts you to amazon.com ebooks.

Lastly, also found at IReader Review, a detailed Nook vs. Kindle comparison here.

I will end this post of random tidbits with photos of my precious, my Kindle. Most people have names for their Kindle… I have yet to find the perfect one tho Ruby and Lily bounce around in my head quite a bit. Kindle is seen here in a custom skin from MyTego.com and the Roof of Heaven cover from Oberon Design.
