Cool-er eReader: lightweight, ebook reader

by Michael on December 14, 2009

The Cool-er eReader is one of the newest players in the digital ebook reader market.

It is trying to compete with the Kindle from Amazon and the Sony eBook reader.  Cool-er has some things going for it, though. It is quite a bit lighter than the competition, weighing about the same as a typical cell phone. Also, it is quite a bit cheaper than the Kindle, too. Also, it has partnered with Google to have all of Google digital library of books available for the Cool-er.

If you're like me, you like to make informed decisions. With that in mind, I wanted to show you another video by David Pogue, who is a tech-geek-expert of sorts. He had some interesting and unbiased, as far as I can tell, observations about the Cool-er eReader.

Right now, the Cool-er eReader and the Amazon Kindle seem to be the two "best of class" ebook readers on the market. They both use what is called E-ink technology. This technology is not back-lit like an LCD screen. It's technology is reflective, so you would need a light to read it in the dark. This is not bad, though, because the technology makes the screen much better for reading, much like a book. Also, the technology has a much lower power usage, so battery life is extended. For example, the Cool-er eReader's battery will last 8000 page turns. That is a lot of book reading on one charge, at least at the rate that I read.

As always, we've listed the best deals on the net for the Cool-er and Kindle. You can find them on the right side of this page ------>

If you've used either one of these ebook readers or have any questions or opinions, please comment below.

Happy Reading,
Mike
