Free Ebook Readers

When you hear of the words Free Ebook Readers, what comes to your mind?

Usually, you find that people mix up Ebook Readers with software programs that are used on Ebook Readers. This article is an attempt to explain the difference between the two.

If you are new to ebooks, then let me explain why we should even consider ebook Readers here. Currently, the world is experiencing an unprecedented rise in electronic books, or better known as ebooks. For you to read these ebooks, you need a device on which to read the ebook, known as an ebook reader. Next in line, you need an ebook Reader software program which is compatible with your device.

So, strictly speaking, ebook readers or ebook devices refer to hardware devices which you use when reading ebooks.

These devices could wholly be dedicated to reading ebooks such as the Kindle Reader by Amazon as shown here...

Some of these Ebook Readers are as follows:

• Some Mobile phones
• Some MP3 players
• Desktop computers
• Kindle by Amazon
• Sony Reader by Sony
• iLiad by iRex
• laptops
• Cybook Gen3 by Bookeen
• Hanlin eReader by Jinke
• Digital Reader 1000 by iRex Technologies
• Star eBook STK-101 by Star eRead

However, these Ebook Readers are not for free. Some of them may be pretty expensive. They could range in prices from $199 to $500.

Now, having dealt with Ebook Readers above, it becomes clear that the term “free Ebook Readers” should be associated with the software programs which are used on these same devices in order to read ebooks.

In most cases, these are the ones that are downloaded for free from the Internet. And some of the free software programs on the market are as follows:

• Mobipocket Reader
• Stanza ebook Reader
• Adobe Reader software
• Plucker ebook Reader
• Microsoft Reader
• LIT Reader from Microsoft
• Adobe Acrobat Reader or PDF
