E-book readers have been available for ten years now. The Franklin Ebookman was launched in 1999 – and it’s still on sale today. However, it’s just in the last six months that these devices have really come into the public awareness. Without a doubt, the Amazon Kindle reader family are the frontrunners right now. When you think about it, e-book readers, and the e-books read on them, are just about the perfect product for Amazon. So it’s hardly surprising that they launched not one but two new readers in the first half of 2009.

They have the Kindle 2 with its 6” display (released in February) and the large 9.7” display DX, which was launched in June. If you haven’t paid much attention to these devices to date, or if you have been wondering whether or not an e-book reader was the right choice for you, here are ten reasons why you should treat yourself to one today:

1. Never find yourself without something to read again. You can download a book from the Amazon website in less than a minute.
2. Be environmentally aware. E-books use no paper, ink, or bindings and there’s no delivery which means that your electronic book is better for the environment when compared to a conventional hardback or paperback equivalent.
3. Never have to worry about “finding a signal” – you don’t need an internet connection or a PC using 3G “Whispernet” wireless technology. There is no monthly connection fee either.
4. Take a mini-library of books with you wherever you go. The Kindle 2 has enough memory capacity to store over 1500 books. The DX can hold 3,500 books in its memory. You’ll never find yourself without a good book to read again.
5. Customise to your heart’s content. Customised covers are just one of a huge selection of Kindle accessories on offer. Choose from covers, lights, stands, carry bags – whatever you like.
6. There’s a huge selection of books at the Amazon site for you to choose from. With over 300,000 titles – and these are being added to every day – there’s sure to be something that you like.
7. Enjoy a little background music while you read. The Kindle is able to store and play mp3 music files.
8. Save a few bucks. Since there are no printing or distribution costs, e-books are quite a bit cheaper than the standard printed books.
9. Save even more money. You can actually download free kindle books direct from the Amazon webstore. Many of these are classics – Sherlock Holmes, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea etc. – but you will often find some new releases by authors who are being promoted by their publishers.
10. You can download the first chapter of most Kindle books for free. So you can try before you buy and see if you like a book before you part with your cash.

Check out the Amazon Kindle reader today. It’s the modern way of reading.
