Ebooks are more affordable than physical books -- most are $9.99 or less. However, renting books from the library or borrowing them from a friend is free and therefore offers more savings.

The convenience is what you are paying for with an ereader. They are great to travel with.

Comparison of the Kindle and Nook E Readers?

E Readers are sweeping the nation as the fastest growing tech gadget craze. With so many options available at wildly varying price points, consumers are faced with a tough choice when it comes to selecting the right e reader for their needs. This guide will take a close look at the two most popular e readers. Perhaps the most popular e reader, the Amazon Kindle, has come a long way since its debut several years ago. The first generation of this e reader was released in 2007 with a retail price of almost $400. Even at this exorbitant price point, the original Amazon Kindle managed to sell out in a matter of hours. Since its original debut, the Kindle e reader has made quite a few improvements and has established itself as the definitive e reader. The Amazon Kindle rises to the top of the e reader pack with free Wi-Fi , incomparable browser speed and supreme portability. One of the most exciting features of the Kindle is the easy to read display, which allows readers to easily view their chosen text under any lighting conditions. Combine these sought after features with a drastically reduced price point of just $139 and it is easy to see why the Amazon Kindle is a top contender for the best e reader. Coming in a close second to the Amazon Kindle is the Barnes and Noble Nook e reader. Like the Kindle, the Nook offers Wi-Fi capabilities and great portability. The Nook also offers a library lending application that allows users to view free materials. The most notable issue with the Barnes and Noble Nook is the electronic typing keyboard that is slow to respond to user commands. The Barnes and Noble Nook e reader currently retails for $149.00 and comes in a close second to the Amazon Kindle. With a few improvements regarding speed, the Nook could easily compete on par with the Kindle. Both the Kindle and the Nook are excellent e readers, and with a price point of less than $150.00, it would be hard to go wrong when choosing between these two best sellers.
