Types of E-Readers.

With e-books continuing to become more popular, there are also a lot of e-readers available. They range in price from around $140 to anywhere near $400 on average.

TopTenReviews provides the specifications, price, and rating for the highest rated e-reader devices. CNET also has a section with their e-reader reviews.

Barnes and Noble's NOOK and Amazon's Kindle continue to be some of the highest in popularity. Amazon's website said "Kindle is our #1 bestseller and has the most 5-star reviews of any product on Amazon." Barnes and Noble's website said the NOOK is their award-winning, best-selling e-reader.

Amazon currently has over 900,000 e-books, newspapers, magazines, etc. available.  Barnes and Noble has over two million titles. Both claim users can download titles wirelessly in seconds.

Some e-readers like the NOOK Color and Kindle have wi-fi/Free 3G, so users can surf the web. Barnes and Noble's Lend Me option lets users lend and borrow e-books from friends.

A plus of e-readers is the ability to change font and brightness, making text easier to read.
