More and more readers seem to buy e-book readers, and the competition in the markedplace is getting more and more intense. Kindle, by Amazon, is a huge hit. And now Barnes & Noble has released its own e-book reader, the Nook. The third major contender among consumers is Sony’s e-book readers, the PRS-600BC and PRS-700BC. And more e-book readers are on their way. This is good news for readers: more alternatives to choose among and competition that reduces prices.

New York Times has published a comprehensive review of e-book readers, but these for the moment seem to be the major competitors.
Nook is the device on the top, and below are pictures of Kindle and the Sony reader.
It’s hard to say which is the best. They all seem to be very good. Their prices are fairly similar too. I suspect that to a large extent it is a question about what your shopping and reading habits are and which company you have the strongest relationship to.
It will be interesting to follow what is happening in this area in the near future. Readers are faced with several good choices, and with more to come.
