What Problems EBook Readers Are Facing Today
When I look at the eBook reader market today I notice several issues that need to be resolved:
1. Screen size - most eBook readers have a relatively small screen size (6 inches) which as a result makes you turn pages every other minute. Since the E Ink technology is still considered new it takes a few seconds for the page to turn. As a result the whole flow of reading slows down. If there was a larger size eBook reader at a reasonable price (the iLiad has a perfect screen size but costs $300 more than the competition) this could solve at least 70% of this problem. Amazon has answered this issue with the creation of the Kindle DX. Learn more here.
2. Availability - 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 demand throughout the world for eBook readers.
3. Compatibility - It seems that there is no real solution yet for reading PDFs on eBook reader. The 
only eReader that comes close is the Amazon Kindle 2, but you still have to convert the files into Kindle format - which isn’t that complicated but can be annoying sometimes. Furthermore, if the PDF contains images they usually don’t come out right. Amazon’s newest ebook reader the Kindle DX now supports PDF files!
4. Colors - Like every other gadget alive 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 perfect. With that said they still present a major leap in technology and make the eBook reading experience much more enjoyable and practical. Sure they have there issues, but what electrical gadget doesn’t.
