<h1>The Best E-readers</h1>

For my birthday this year I received the new NookColor! It took a long time for my mom to decide if she wanted to get me that one because there are so many different e-readers out there. You might be looking for an e-reader but you're not sure which one is the best. I'm going to give you a description of each one.

Kobo

-The kobo e-reader is wireless. That means that you do not have to connect it to your computer to download e-books. You just need Wi-Fi. It has one GB of memory so it will hold up to 1,000 books. If you need more space you can buy a memory card separately up to 4 GB. There is a built in dictionary so if you see a word in your book that you don't understand you can look it up. It has up to a two week battery life! It has two different e-book available formats: ePub and PDF. You can download ebooks from borders.com. They have many to choose from. The kobo is $99.99 and you can find it at Borders.
The kobo e-reader is more for someone who wants the device just to read.

- This e-reader is not wireless so you have to use a USB cord and connect it to your computer to download books. It's a touch screen for easy navigation.

NookColor

-The NookColor is the e-reader with the most offered. It has everything the Nook has except no 3G wireless. In addition it has mutimedia(pictures and video viewer), an audio player, internet radio, crossword puzzles, chess, and sudoku. It also has COLOR!!! Every other e-reader is black and white but not this one. It has a color touch screen!!! It also has up to an eight hr. battery life and up to 8gb of memory(6,000 books). The NookColor is sold for $249 and available at Barnes and Noble.

All of these e-readers seem nice but obviously the NookColor offers the most. I have it and I use it all the time. It is the best e-reader you can buy! Of course, you might not want all the extra things that are included. You might just want the e-reader for books. Look at all the different possibilities and choose the one that fits you best.
