The BookGem makes a great hands free book holder and reading stand for eBooks like the Kindle, iPad, Nook, Sony, iRex, and others. Originally designed for regular hardback and paperback books, customers have written to tell us how great it works with these new high tech tablets. Here we give a short demonstration of the BookGem with both the original Kindle and the iRex Iliad. For more information and usage with regular books, also take a look at the ‘Three Minute Tour’ video. Video Rating: 3 / 5
One of the categories we’ve been fawning over for the entire year is e-readers. Their lovely e-ink displays are so easy on the eyes that with the holidays approaching, we wanted to pick the perfect unit. To do that, Eric Sandine, Iyaz Akhtar and myself strike up a convo about the ones that we’re most excited about, and the ones we’re least likely to pick up. The downside? Some of them still haven’t officially hit the streets, or aren’t available because they’re sold out. The upside? We’re still going to talk about our favs, in hopes we’ll get some sort of holiday IOU, or the like. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Question by ♥Bambi McBimbo♥: Amazon Kindle vs. Barns and Noble Nook vs. Sony E-reader?
What are your opinions on these three e-readers? I would like to know about the availiblity of free books, books you can buy, ease of use, and anyother information you would like to share. I am not very tech savy, so that might be something else you would want to factor in. Thanks a lot!

Answer by nowaynohow Nook is not yet ready for prime time. It does not have, or does badly, things the Kindle does well. That’s mostly because the Kindle is on its second generation, not that they got it right the first time.
Most of the best sellers on each machine are actually the free books. Look at the available books, think of 10 things you want and see if they are available.
Question by lalalalaaaaa: Amazon Kindle vs. Barnes &noble Nook vs. Sony Reader..?
Which is best? I’m 17 and asking for one of these for christmas, which do you recommend?
Best answer:
Answer by SevenSuns First off, the nook is on backorder so you won’t be able to get one untill January, unless you want to pay 2 or 3 times what it’s worth on eBay. And no one knows if the nook is better yet because no one has gotten their hands on one yet.
The better ebook reader all depends on what you want feature-wise. You can research the details and watch video demos on this website:

I’d personally recommend the Kindle unless you really want a touchscreen because it has the most features and is the most economical in the long run.

Best answer:
Answer by Sarah Best is objective. In my opinion I like the Nook the best. It has a huge selection of books, like the kindle and I like its interface a bit better than the Kindle as well. It is easier to get where you want in a paper or book on a Nook than a kindle but truly the iPads interface puts both to shame. I think the Nook is still the best eReader out today but here is a little review and you can decide for yourself.

The Sony is too expensive for what it does I think. You cant go wrong with either the Kindle or the Nook and if you are a reader as soon as you get either you will fall in love.

Answer by Pauline A I own the Kindle 2. If you ask me to choose again now, I’ll still go for the Kindle instead of the Nook or Sony Reader, because I think the web browsing function is rather important (the Nook and Sony Reader does not have a web browser). The free internet (and now it is free international internet) plus the web browser allow me to look for information whenever I’m in need. It is really a cool feature that cannot be missed. And right now it is free for both the U.S. and many other countries, it is just incredible when you bring it to trip.
I like to use the text-to-speech function on the Kindle too, meaning that I can “read” with my hands and eyes free…
Don’t choose the Sony Reader, it is more difficult and expensive to buy books on it…
And I remember I read this review when I decided to get my Kindle:
Question by iellehcim: Kindle vs. Sony Reader vs. Nook vs. iPad?
Hey, there–
I’m thinking of getting a reader of some sort just to travel more lightly when I go abroad. I am a PC girl, so I’m not terrifically interested in an iPad, but they do look pretty useful. Anyone have any thoughts on any of these readers?
Thanks!
Best answer:
Answer by Natural The Kindle has much better price on books, compared to all other devices. The Sony Reader has the poorest selection of books. And don’t choose the iPad, the screen is backlight and it will harm your eyes for long term.
I’ve given a detailed comparison between the Nook and the Kindle previously, in another answer here. Guess you’ll be interested:
