An easy solution for a greener lifestyle is available with new e-Readers, which allow consumers to view, purchase, and read e-books and other digital media through a handheld platform. e-Readers feature long battery life, WiFi, and large screens for easy browsing and compatibility.

The Amazon Kindle has three hardware devices, the Kindle, Kindle 2, and Kindle DX. The Kindle devices use electronic paper displays and are able to download content from Amazon using the WiFi service. The Kindle devices can hold up to 1,500 books from a large selection including over 360,000 books, U.S. and international newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Furthermore, the Kindle is expanding with lower market prices and international expansion.

Competing with the Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook e-Reader will be available in November. The Nook has a 10 day battery life with a replaceable battery, WiFi and AT&T 3G, PDF support, and competitive prices. The Nook can store up to 1,500 books, newspapers, and magazines along with an extended memory card that holds up to 17,500 downloads. A bonus feature of the Nook is the lending feature, which allows customers to loan books to friends for 14 days.

While both e-Readers are an exciting new development for book lovers everywhere, an added bonus is the option to go green with your reading material. Who can say no to that?
