Amazon’s Kindle has been the leader in reading books, magazines, and newspapers online through a handheld computer. The Kindle is a great product as it can download subscriptions to the NY Times, Sports Illustrated, The Wall Street Journal, and more. The nice aspect is that it is very easy to use with minimal buttons to worry about. So, it’s tech friendly.
With the new advent of online libraries, started by Google, other digital devices are now starting to 
compete with the Kindle. The Sony PRS505, priced at $299 (versus the $359 Kindle) is compatible with 
tapping into libraries to download books and articles for period of time. Just like you can borrow a book from the library, you can do the same with the Sony or the iRex digital reader. The iRex is more expensive at $559 and doesn’t have many more features to merit its increase.
Soon we’ll all be at home accessing the world at our fingertips and these digital readers are here to make this possible.
