WHERE TO FIND EBOOKS?

Experts prefer Amazon's Kindle to any other e-book reader on the market. Compared with its closest rival, the Barnes & Noble Nook (*Est. $150 to $200), reviews find the Kindle slimmer, lighter and its grayscale screen a bit easier to read. The Kindle also has a longer-lasting battery (up to a month of reading on a single charge) and more memory (about 3,500 e-books' worth). The Kindle isn't only the best e-book reader in reviews, it's also one of the least expensive, whether you pick the base version (*Est. $140) that downloads e-books via Wi-Fi or the step-up version (*Est. $190) that adds a free nationwide AT&T 3G wireless connection (3G also works in more than 100 countries). The Kindle also plays music and audiobooks. There's a text-to-speech function (to turn written books into spoken ones) and a basic web browser, but reviews say these don't work very well. The Kindle cannot read the widely used ePub format, unlike the Nook, so you can't check out public library e-books. For purchasing books, you're largely limited to Amazon.com, which fortunately has a huge e-book store where most books sell for $10 or less.
