Wikipedia: Comparison of E-Book (Electronic paper) readers


Comparison of e-book readers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  (Redirected from List of e-book readers)
An e-book reader is a portable electronic device that is designed primarily for the purpose of reading e-books and periodicals.
E-book readers are similar in form to a tablet computer, and usually refer to readers that use electronic paper, which means better readability of their screens especially in bright sunlight, and longer battery life. When disconnected from the web, an e-book reader's battery will last from weeks to months. A tablet computer typically has a faster screen capable of higher refresh rates which makes them more suitable for interaction.
Any device that can display text on a screen can act as an e-book reader, but without the advantages of the e-paper technology. On the other hand most ebooks are read on devices not specifically designed for reading ebooks, such as laptop computers, smartphones, and tablets, such as Apple's iPhone and iPad.[1]

Commercially available devices sold by maker or designer

Notes:
  • Library DRM compatible – Can be used to borrow e-books from public libraries, e.g. the EPUB and/or PDF formats with digital-rights-management (DRM) are supported.
  • "microSDHC" is the most popular format for external memory cards. Devices which support a different card have that format listed.
  • Listed are only products for which either the product itself or its company is notable, as shown by having a Wikipedia article (without notability notice).

Different kinds of screens

All electronic paper types offer lower power consumption and much better sunlight contrast than LCDs. Some offer backlights in low-light reading situations. With the backlight turned off, all have a similar appearance to "ink on paper" and readable in bright environments.
  • eInk: Although "eInk" is used casually to talk about all electronic paper displays, "eInk" was trademarked by the company Vizplex, which sells the majority of electronic paper displays. eInk is the name of their earliest model.
  • eInk Pearl: Vizplex's 2nd generation model, which has higher contrast and a greater number of different levels of gray than their earlier models.
  • SiPix: An early competitor to Vizplex, which had almost instantaneous page turns.
  • LG flex: Electronic paper that allows for a flexible screen. With these displays, you can bend the e-reader without damaging it and do things like fold it up to put in your pocket.

Private label hardware

Some common hardware is resold in different national markets under various brandnames. Below are the brandnames associated with the generics in the above table: generic 6" touchscreen (2010): bq Movistar, bq Avant, egriver Touch (India), postitivo Alfa (Brazil), e-vrit (Israel), Papyre 6.2 (Spain)

A Symbian OS smartphone used as an e-book reader
Some portable multimedia players and smartphones include a text viewer, e.g. several Cowon players, including the Cowon D2 and the iAUDIO U3 and Mobipocket Reader for Symbian OS and Windows Mobile mobile phones and devices. Adobe Reader mobile also turns Windows Mobile devices (for example, Samsung Omnia) into e-book viewers. Apple's iPad, iPhone,[11] and iPod Touch are acquiring status as e-book readers through a variety of e-reader apps. WordPlayer, FBReader, Aldiko or Mantano Reader turn Android phones into e-book readers. The BlackBerry PlayBook has a number of e-book applications. Palm OS based devices and smartphones are also usable for reading books. Palm OS supports PalmDoc, iSilo, Mobipocket reader, PDF, HTML conversion, text format, Handstory, TealDoc among many other software titles, and word processing.
Some mobile devices support word processing. Some fully functional tablet notebooks (with screens that turn 180 degrees and lie with the back to the keyboard) and subnotebooks are used as e-book readers.
