Tablet and E-Reader - great idea for Christmas
December 12th 2010 23:32
it will be hard to enter a store without setting eyes on a tablet computer or an e-reader
The iPad dominates the field, but there's a slew of contenders that all run Google Inc.'s Android software, which is already common on smart phones. Meanwhile, the smaller tablets look almost indistinguishable from some new e-readers that hope to unseat the Kindle.
So what do you do? and which do you choose?
The Kindle's display, which measures 6 inches diagonally, uses "electronic-ink" technology, which makes it easy to read books, newspapers and magazines in direct sunlight. It falls somewhere between an iPhone and an iPad in size and weighs half a pound, making the device from Amazon.com Inc. thinner and lighter than Barnes & Noble Inc.'s Nookcolor, its strongest rival
It also runs longer which is a big plus, recharging can be a nuisance
Barnes & Noble Nookcolor
Pros: Displays books and magazines in color. The brightness of the 7-inch touchscreen can be adjusted for comfortable reading in a wide range of lighting conditions
There's a lot more so get your enquiries list together and take it with you otherwise you're buying in the dark
