What troubles EBook reader face Today

When I stare at the eBook reader market today I notice some issues that need to be resolute:
1. Screen size - most eBook readers have a comparatively small screen size (6 inches) which as a result makes you roll pages each other minute. because the E Ink technology is still considered new it takes a few seconds for the page to rotate. As a result the whole flow of reading slows down. If there was a bigger size eBook reader at a reasonable price (the iLiad has a perfect display size but costs $300 more than the competition) this could solve at least 70% of this difficulty.

2. Accessibility - The 2 most popular eBook readers today (the Amazon Kindle 2 and the Sony PRS-700) are still not available for customers outside the US. This is a shame since there is a real stipulate throughout the world for eBook readers.

3. Compatibility - It seems that there is no real clarification yet for reading PDFs on eBook reader. The only ereader that comes close is the Amazon Kindle 2, but you still have to change the files into Kindle format - which isn't that problematical but can be bothersome sometimes. besides, if the PDF contains images they typically don't come out right.

4. Colors - Like every other apply bouncing the time of ereaders that can display color will ultimately arrive, it's only a question of time.

So there you have it, as you can see today's ereaders are far from being wonderful (that is why none of them get a 5 star rating on our site). With that said they still nearby a major leap in technology and make the eBook reading occurrence much more agreeable and practical. Sure they have there issues, but what electrical device doesn't.
