A great eReader, with e-ink technology, but the basicmodel. No keyboard, no audio capability (no MP3, no text to speech etc). Although the cheapest option, we think the more expensive versions offer better value. If you don't need music though this represents great value. Buy the basic Kindle here |

Touchscreen capability, and audio. For a small amount more this represents much better value than the Basic Kindle, just for the audio alone. The touchscreen interface suits some users more than a keyboard. If your always near a WiFi network, or at least can be near one whenever ou want to buy a book, this is the best Kindle for you.

| Barnes and Noble Nook 3G |  |
Barnes and Noble offer 2 eBook readers – the Nook and the Nook Color. Don’t be fooled by the might of Amazon – have a serious look at these eReaders before you make your choice – there’s many people who think these are a better option… It uses the same e-ink technology as the Kindle, but has a small touchscreen navigaction window at the bottom that is color.

| Sony PRS 350 |
The main rival to the Kindle, its range of features is a bit outdated - theres no WiFi, no 3G, and no audio. However, its a well made machine, and you can buy books from places other than Amazon. You can also borrow books from the library. Buy the Sony PRS 350 here |
