B&N's New Nook Wireless Book Reader Confronts Amazon's EBook Reader Device

The up-to-the-minute Nook revolutionary wireless reading device being marketed by Barnes and Noble, the worlds principal high street book stall with in excess of 1,300 branches, seems all set to lock horns with the worlds best selling ebook reader device, the Amazon kindle.

While not long released, the Nook electronic book readers are searching to ruffle Amazon's feathers even more by taking it on openly in a area of the marketplace, that up to yet, the Kindle 2 has dominated. Ever since it's launch, first of all as the Kindle then later in February 2009 as the Kindle , it has re-ignited the digital ebook reader market-place by offering a blend of innovative technology, owing to it's instant connect anyplace wireless networking and also the leading range of novels available for download at tremendous, cheaper than the high street, prices.

No doubt after going through ebook reader reviews, customers brought in to the model in a immense way and it is only recently that the rest of the trade have woken up to the reality that this is the potential of book retail. An so in the most recent few months we have had the message from Sony of their intent to enlist in the fun, with their soon to be unveiled Daily Edition, and the latest press release from B&N that their own contender, the Nook, will be back to full production very quickly.

There are no misgivings that the Kindle2 is the reader everybody is going after. And to be candid it's gratifying to see a little rivalry in this market. Yes we have had the iRex iLiad but the ebook readers reviews disliked it because it was a little on the large side to be a wireless book reader, just the thing for office use with the 1:1 A4 reproduction, but much like the Kindle dx - another wireless ebook reader - not something you will wish for to take on holiday, or put in your handbag or pocket for that matter, and it was on no account going to contend on price was it?

Thus now we have 2 big companies prepared to go head to head, with the strength of Amazon kindle, on all fronts. The book reader arm of sony in recent times enlarged the range of their collection at the Sony-Store and reduced the costs of their digitally delivered novels to equal that of Amazons and with a bit of luck B&N, who have at all times been in the matching ballpark price wise, will match them title for title also.

However the leading news broadcast for clients has to be the move away from proprietary file formats utilized by Sony corp. in the early days and even now used by the Kindle now. To explain the state of affairs I will apply Amazon as an illustration, remember this is still the situation with the Kindle so it makes it more clear.
