Are e-book readers too old, limited?
Bangalore: After less than a year of its launch, Amazon Kindle seems to be having tough time in the market, as users feel that the usage of Kindle is old and limited compared to smartphones, which have touchscreen, media playback and third-party apps, reports Electronista.
Older readers are friendlier with Kindle but feel that news delivery on the Kindle is still limited and omit components they like, such as crossword puzzles or all the secondary sections of a physical newspaper.

According to a study done by University of Georgia, a device like Apple's iPad may be better-suited to current readers than dedicated devices like the Amazon Kindle.
More than its usage, all age groups are objecting to the price of the Kindle. At $489, the Kindle DX is too expensive solely to read news. An e-book reader like the Sony Reader Daily Edition adds a touchscreen and costs less at $399. Launched just last week, iPad supports the new hardware's approach to reading and address both the smartphone-level app platform and media features as well as older users' desires for games.

4: The post looks a bit mismatching to me,since
am owning an amazon kindle for the past 8
months.an ebook reader is designed for users
who like to read long without strain to ur
eyes,which u cannot get in a gadget like
ipad.its totally a different experience of
reading booksif 1 wants a lcd screen to learn
news and books he may well prefer carrying a
laptop which is far more superior to ipad.
moreover amazon has announced the kindle development kit to developers and in a due course of time customers can enjoy variety of apps on their kindle,which ll add to the experience of reading books and news.
ebook readers may look out of date in design . but do remember the E-ink technology has jus come out of its infancy and is a very complex technology compared to lcd,s.
