Ebooks have really changed the way that people read. Whether it is the Nook, Ipad or Kindle reader, ereaders allow book lovers all over the world the ability to enjoy reading some of the books that they love and not have to worry about carrying around a bulky paperback or hardcover book.

For many years readers have been reluctant to make the switch to ereaders. In fact, many critics of ereaders and ebooks estimated that this phase would never truly catch on. In an effort to really kick off the demand for ebooks and ereaders book retailers all over the world developed a system known as the Quick Buy system.

The quick buy system is a system that allows ereaders to be able to connect to the internet through a Wifi connection. When they connect readers are able to see a vast amount of ebooks that are available for them and make the purchases directly from their ereader. In the past they had to use the internet, download the book and then transfer it to their ereader.

This ease of purchasing books is really what kicked off the demand for ereaders. No one had to wait forever to purchase a book and no one had to head to the book store just to get a book. Instead you could get any book on demand that was available in ebook form. So, if you wanted to cook up a great desert you just searched cookbooks, or if you were in a crunch and needed to know about insurance claims and how to file you could look for ebooks published by 21st century insurance about how to file an insurance claim.

It’s amazing that with the development of one simple system, the way that people read books and the delivery of information has been changed forever.

The Kindle made some pretty big waves when it came out. However, none of the effects was quite as noticeable as the competition is spawned. From the Galaxy to the Sony Reader and even, some may say, the iPad, the Kindle created a new approach to getting information, and created a surge of popularity for the eBook. There’s no doubt that the Kindle is the original king of the eReader world, but with so many others now in the field, does the Kindle 3 still reign supreme?

One of the places where the Kindle holds its footing incredibly well is in its competitive price. Models are currently available for as low as $139, US — a price that most other current readers simply can’t match. There are more expensive models as well, however, including WiFi enabled models, and versions of the Kindle that can access 3G networks. Even with a definite increase in price tag (with versions scaling up to the $400 mark), the price tends to run lower than competitors with similar features.

Kindle has also made some notably upgrades to specs across the board. They have increased the total battery life substantially, doubled the included storage, increased processor capabilities for faster page turn speed, and added support for more file types. One gaping hole does remain in the ePub file, although many are hopeful that this is a temporary oversight.

The Kindle remains focused on being an eBook reader, rather than attempting to enter the world of the tablet computer — now the iPad’s territory. However, while you won’t be able to login to your preferred social media company on the Kindle, the eBook features are definitely expanding.

For those seeking an affordable but solid eReader option, the Kindle is a strong choice. And, if you’re already familiar with previous iterations of the Kindle, you’ll no doubt be impressed by version 3′s improvements.
