By Sarah Freeland

Diverse group of ebook readers makes variety of e-books available for purchase.

Since an ebook is a file that needs to be viewed its important to know what format it comes in and what program it can be opened with.  E-book files are viewable through specialized programs called e-book readers.  There are a few formats that an ebook could come in.  It could come in plain text and thus be viewed in Microsoft word or a notepad program.

Computers that operate on Windows will open that file automatically with the best matched program at hand.  Some files come in a format of HTML and require a browser or a browser enhanced version of Microsoft Word for Windows.  These files are usually compact and very user friendly.  The last but not least and probably the favorite format of all is a PDF by Adobe.  PDF files can be viewed on Adobe Reader, Microsoft Reader, or any other ebook reader available.  These files are small, easily accessible and can be readily transferred, emailed, shared or printed.

E-book readers are available to download online or could be bought at a software store.  Microsoft Reader only operates on the Windows based machines, whereas Adobe Reader can be installed on both Windows and Macintosh operating systems.  Separate readers are available for PDA’s.  Today Adobe sets standards for ebook industry since it’s a most widely known and used program available.  Its compatibility with existent systems is greatly appreciated by users making PDF files the standard for today’s e-books.

What will iPod do for its Act II? Is it possible that the iPod reader will be available soon? The Apple iPod to the market by storm and sold millions of units around the world and they will need another product soon to keep this going strong and there are many software developers who are looking to help themselves to future riches.

Possible new iPod eBook reader? Very interesting developments on the horizon indeed; Imagine being able to download a blog, which would read to you? Like an audio book, but one of millions of e-books now available? Such a new development would turn the paper book market on its head, as more and more people would off for a bond yield e-books via iPod.

The iPod would have to have bigger screens to display the words, as well as audio features. This would be a great new advancement for those who cannot read and for those who are blind or partially sighted.

Recently someone let the cat out of the bag and to hold of a future iPod reader that was being developed and could soon come to market, which would change the world. http://www.tuaw.com/2006/07/22/next-ipod-an-ebook-reader/

Wouldn’t you like to have an Apple iPod reader for e-books when you are traveling or stuck in traffic? Imagine being on an airplane and just leaning back and thinking while the iPod reader read you an entire book or novel? That would be something and it may be in our future. Please consider all this in 2006
