Ebook readers versus netbooks?

I’ve been reading a post on the cheap netbooks blog that suggests a netbook is as good for reading on as a dedicated ebook reader.

Well I’m here to tell you that is not the case.

Look at the little fellow on the left who’s been reading on his netbook for an hour – and that’s what it will  do to you too!

But on a serious note, while a netbook makes a great computer, when it comes to reading for a couple of hours on end, there is no substitute for a dedicated ebook reader.

The reason is simple: it’s the fact that there’s no backlight.

Try it out for yourself and see. Put a PDF file on your netbook and however good the screen, if you read it for more than half an hour, it will feel as though your eyes have been sandpapered. Now turn on your ebook reader, start reading, and before you know where you are, you’ll be as relaxed and immersed in the book as if you were reading a real paper book. For real reading, e-ink wins over TFT every time.

What’s that? You don’t have a dedicated ebook reader? Well you’ve come to the right place. Just go to our home page and you’ll quickly find the perfect ebook reader for you. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
