Naturally, when you hear “e-reader,” you might think Kindle. Even better, you can check out digital books from a library without leaving your house. Books can also be expensive and take up a lot of physical space, but that’s not a problem with ebooks. E-readers let you carry thousands of books or dozens of audiobooks in a single, slim, rectangular tablet they have paperlike screens that are easy on the eyes and they won’t inundate you with distracting notifications. But there’s no doubt that ebook readers (also called e-readers) make life easier-they might just make you read more too. Still no good book reader exists IMO.I dearly love a paperback book that I can bend, touch, smell, and display on my bookshelf when I’m done. Kindle might sell pretty well but it's no iPod of books. A DVD sized e-book reader about say half the thickness or slightly thicker with great battery life, a headphone jack and a speaker without massive bezels, silly chin and with simple software is what's missing in the e-book reader world. A DVD case is 9' on the diagonal and is about the smallest an e-ink book reader should be. A tiny 6' screen for reading books is a joke, sorry. Would much prefer if they scrapped all of the models and just focused on making one awesome 9' model and tried to bring the prices down through economies of scale, selling just a single model in black and white and one storage size: we're talking books.įurther, another thing Kindle needs is a headphone jack and a built-in speaker like Kindle 3 had. What Kindles have going for them mostly is price, but that really in my mind only applies to the cheapest model. I'd also like to see a slightly thicker reader with longer battery life. If Apple made a 9' e-ink reader (kindles are too small) that looked like the page of a book 'Apple Page' or 'Apple Book' and had some innovative features such as page numbers (ffs) and the ability to squeeze either side of the page to turn the page I'd honestly buy one. I honestly would like if Apple made an e-ink reader because Amazon isn't great at hardware or software, at least when it comes to Kindle. I do wish Apple would add e-ink tech to iPads but that’s probably hard to engineer.
