Although you can read all of our e-books on your computer with either your web browser or Adobe's Acrobat Reader software, the ideal way to read an e-book is with an e-book reading
device. Let's face it -- it's not very convenient to use a laptop on a crowded subway train during rush hour commutes!
There are many e-book reading devices on the market now, with more models being released almost every month. They vary from dedicated devices such as the Rocket eBook (the original!)
and RCA/Gemstar's REB 1100 to multi-use devices such as PDAs (Palm, Handspring, etc.) and the Franklin eBookMan. The type of device you decide to use for reading e-books will determine which e-book
software you'll use (Microsoft LIT, Acrobat PDF, etc.) and which ArtemisPress e-book edition (format) you should select.
Below, we have provided a brief summary of currently available e-book hardware devices. The exciting thing about the e-book industry is that it continues to grow with each passing
day. As a result, new companies are coming out with devices that break new technological ground -- bigger, clearer displays, for instance -- and the competition is (finally!) starting to drive down
prices for consumers!
If you have been thinking about purchasing an e-book reading device, please take a moment to review the information that follows...visit the company websites for further
information. That way, you'll have all the information you need to choose the one e-book reading device that best suits your personal needs! The average e-book reading device costs about the
same as one year's worth of inkjet cartridges! And think of all the paper (and trees) you'll save by reading electronically!
