There are a variety of ebook readers currently on the market, and more are coming available regularly. This page will focus primarily on two of the most popular readers, the Kindle and the Nook. If other information on other readers would be helpful, please submit a comment requesting info to be added.
The Kindle is a series of e-readers developed by Amazon. Kindle devices allow users to download ebooks, magazines, newspapers, and other digital media. The Kindle line includes a range of devices, including e-readers with E ink electronic paper displays that simulate a real printed page and Kindle applications on all major computing platforms.
The Nook is a series of e-readers and tablets by Barnes and Noble. The classic Nook e-readers utilize the same E ink electronic paper display as the Kindle e-reader while the Nook tablets have a full-color screen and incorporate more functionality. There is also a Nook application that can be used on mobile devices, tablets, or computers.
The RBdigital links included above will also work with the Nook with the same caveat: Ebooks can only be checked out using the tablet version of the Nook or using the Nook application, not any of the Nooks that utilize E ink.
