What is the best eReader? How about color?

Let me count....yes, it's about a millionth time I see this question answered...I'll do it again just for you, just j. While it's great to have your battery last for weeks (like with e-Ink black & white eReaders), I don't believe it's a big issues for anyone to charge your device once a day, you already to it for your mobile phone. That's the price you pay for color.

Depending on what you're reading, you should decide which screen you want: e-Ink or LCD. It If just black & white novels then the better one would be Kindle or e-Ink Nook from Barnes & Noble. If you read electronic magazines or college text books with a lot of color graphs and charts or children’s' books with a lot of pictures then the better would be Nook Color LCD from Barnes & Noble. Then, you should understand the limitations of e-Ink eReaders - they are limited to be black & white for now they "blink" at each ebook’s page turn, they're not too good for web browsing, they need external light source for reading when dark, and they cannot handle videos.

Whichever device you choose, here's the advantages of the Nook’s (both e-Ink black & white and Nook Color) over Kindle:

- Any Barnes & Noble store provides free Wi-Fi to Nook's

- Nook allows to lend books for 2 weeks to friends or to your other devices that run B&N app (PC, MAC, Android phones, Apple iPhone and iPad, etc.) Barnes & Noble allows (when you walk in with the Nook to B&N store) to read any available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi. With Nook, while in BN store you get exclusive articles from top authors, and great offers including cafe treats and unique deals.

- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for library ebooks.

- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for renting text-ebooks.

Nook Color is worth mentioning separately as this is a hybrid Android eReader/tablet device, something between Kindle and iPad. Even though Nook Color has LCD touchscreen, it's a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight and produces less glare all of which are dooming reading on iPad. Also, the screen is amazing and readable/viewable at wide angles.

Overall, Nook Color is more than e-Reader as you can also watch video and use Android applications on it. It's a hybrid device, much more than just an e-Reader but not a full tablet as it doesn't have a camera. If all you want is to read novels, Kindle (or the original e-Ink Nook) might be better for you. If you want something more from your device at half of the price of iPad or Galaxy tab, then Nook Color is your best bet.

For the time being you only have two options: Black and white eInk screens or LCD screens. There is not color eInk (yet). I would suggest getting an eInk screen device, solely because they were designed for reading. If color is a serious deal breaker, then you'd probably have to get something like the nook color and sacrifice battery life.

Do i really have to say it? It's the Ipad man!
