Is 2010 Going To Be The Year Of Color Ereaders?
The question is 2010 going to be the year of Color eReaders is perhaps not the question that should be answered. Instead one might ask is 2010 the year of the eReaders in general. The CES show held in January has displayed a number of new eReaders on the market. Some of them are definitely going to have color screens, and more than that each has its own interesting feature.
However, to answer the original question 2010 does seem the year for color screens. More and more of the eReaders being released offer color touch screens and color reading screens. Even Amazon is working on a color screen. Sony has just released the Daily Edition with color, and of course there is the Apple iPad that has the best color screen.
Each of the eReaders offering color screens has done so for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that it was a natural step. Many people are reading magazines, Manga, and newspaper comics on their ePaper devices. The Sunday edition comics are always in color, as is Manga. You then add in the option of being able to make notes in the eBook and it is a necessary option to provide a different color to make notes in.
The second main reason for providing color screens comes in the video digital media. Ereaders are turning from just eBooks to much more. The Apple iPad is just one example of this. There are a number of tablet computers hitting stores. These computers offer internet surfing, music, video, and eBook options. Instead of taking a DVD player, laptop, phone, music device, and any other portable device on the plane, all one needs is the tablet computer. It allows you to watch any video online or that you have downloaded to storage, as well as carrying books, and a device that makes calls and sends emails.
The Amazon Kindle is even moving in this direction with their color eReader device they are working on. The Kindle is one of the only devices that has a QWERTY keyboard attached instead of the touch screen. So, it is the year for color screens with eReaders.
It is also a year for all types of eReaders. It is not just the tablet computers that are coming out in eReader formats. One very interesting option is the Skiff eReader. The Skiff is from LG with a metal foil technology. It is rollable, bendable, and very flexible. This means you get color eReaders, and something that is more like a newspaper or magazine to carry around. If you do not have enough flat space in your carry on, you can roll the Skiff up to take up a little corner.
