However, what I would like to talk about here is a response to the demands and many questions – especially the lovers of the acquisition of books – about the options currently available in the market for reading e-books that enabled e-ink deal with prices and how to get these different options for the Pan-Arab region .

Amazon Kindle
Start from the beginning is a logical and Kindle from Amazon, which is between the months of all electronic devices to read books as the advantage of being the first to move the revolution of e-books when presented for the first time. Kindle is available at the moment three different versions of the Kindle is a copy of the user’s traditional American version of Kindle’s traditional markets and a copy Kindle DX and is special in the American market only now. And similar to the traditional Standard and DX a lot in most of the properties other than the fact that the latter provides a wider screen measuring 9.7 inches compared with 6-inch version of the traditional as well as the storage capacity of more than doubled. Key features obtained by the purchase of the Amazon Kindle is focused mainly on the Amazon store for e-books, which allows you to purchase immediately wrote in anywhere via wireless coverage, which extends in a large number of Arab countries and you will get the machine that has a solid international reputation and prospects continuous development of the fact that Amazon has developed the product on top of their priorities clear.

Sony Reader
E-reader from Sony Sony Reader has always been is a traditional rival of the Kindle before the emergence of multiple other competitors and is still at the moment this device is the option closest to the users in the Arab region who wish to acquire an organ of reading e-books as it is the only — Among the top competitors in this category of devices – which are sold through official distributors of Sony in some Arab countries and of course the possibility to buy online the same manner as noted above him. Sony Reader released in two versions, Pocket Touch and Sony is preparing soon to launch is the third version of Sony Reader Daily Edition. Smaller version, Pocket, comes to a display measuring 5 inches of internal memory and can not be fixed to increase capacity of 512Mb and is sold at official is $ 200 while the other version offers Touch touch screen measuring 6 inches, an internal memory capacity of 512Mb of expandable memory cards to 16GB and is sold at $ 300.

Both devices are supported by more than a library of electronic books and offices that are expanding Sony to attract more and more with the aim of supporting the device and its users and especially in its deal to support the project last Google Public Domains Books million to provide free e-book available for download for users of Sony Reader.

Nook of the Barnes & Noble
If Amazon has a strong motivation for the development of electronic devices to read books with large library of electronic books available for sale, the Barnes & Noble now have a stronger motivation and the fear of losing control of its core in the event of sales of the paper book e-book for Amazon, which was rushed to subdue him . Indeed, the defense and Barnes & Noble on the doors of the main livelihood came a violent release what it called the company more reader e-books growing in the world, Nook. Fact, the Nook carries with it the promise of huge developments in this emerging market, the device comes Bashastei display screen is the first electronic ink measuring 6 inches to display e-books in a manner similar to the Kindle, the latter color touch screen measuring 3.5 inches from which to browse the contents of the device from e-books across the width of the covers of books as a Nook ways to connect and wireless downloading of books online using the first third-generation phone and the second using the WiFi. 2GB internal memory capacity can be increased using memory cards. Nook is available for sale Chheu the end of November at $ 259 and is to appear as the rate is ideal for a wonderful and I expect to be able to be purchased in the same way, either by a resident of the United States or through the Internet and shipping services such as redirection and Shop & Ship and that it was not likely in the foreseeable future to see him officially in the Arab countries.

Other devices actually available at the moment
In my opinion, and as market indicators tell us the three organs of the above options are better in terms of key features and the most famous in the current time in this area, but this does not negate the existence of some other limited options, such as organs Booken Cybook Opus – sold at $ 280 — and iRex DR800SG and a limited number of other devices, some available in some stores scattered in the Arab region and that was the importation of these devices are often sold at higher prices compared to price and the official.

Mobile future

Of what belongs to the first two Spring Design Alex – and is a device that holds two displays, one color ink, and other working-mail and is similar to a large extent to the Nook – Reader e-books and a series of Asus Eee and that was not available for much of the information at the present time. The devices that do not remain mere speculation and rumors include the tablet device from Apple and Microsoft Courrier project and both projects for the devices to tablet is said to target market e-books as part of what will be provided.
