Thinking Of Getting An eBook Reader? Now Is The Time!

Ebook readers, or E-readers are wireless reading devices that enable
you to download, store, and read your favorite books, magazines, and
newspapers. This allows you to have all your favorite publications
immediately available without having to lug around the physical books.
This is great for traveling or commuting.

E-readers come in two versions, Wi-Fi and Wi-fi with 3G. If you already
have a high speed internet connection and a wireless router at home,
or you have access to a Wi-Fi hotspot, then Wi-Fi would be the way to go.
3G, however, enables you to download books anytime, anywhere, while on
the go, without having to find a Wi-Fi hotspot connection.

Since Amazon introduced the Kindle Wireless Reading Device, it's popularity soared and became Amazon's highest selling product. So much so that competitors have entered the market with their own brand of ebook reader in order to capture a piece of the electronic publishing pie. Barnes & Noble has introduced it's NOOK Wi-Fi. Followed by Sony's Daily Edition, and a host of lesser known brands.

This has led to a "price war" between the major players. It started when
Barnes & Noble cut the price of it's Nook(Wi-Fi +3G) from $259 to $199,
and offered a Wi-Fi only model for $149. Amazon followed suit and slashed
the price of Kindle (Wi-Fi +3G) to $189, and It's Wi-Fi model to $139.
Later, Sony dropped the price of each of it's three E-readers by $60.
The Amazon Kindle and the Barnes & Noble Nook come with free Wi-Fi and
3G so there's no set up or extra plan to pay for.

You have the wildly popular Apple I-Pad to thank for the drop in E-reader
prices. The I-Pad also allows you download and store E-Books as well as
surf the internet, watch streaming videos and many other tasks. It has a
color LCD screen as opposed to the E-Ink screens of E-readers. It also
carries a $499 price tag for it's low end model. As opposed to the much
lower prices of a dedicated E-reader. Plus you have to pay extra for
Wi-Fi and 3G.

The I-Pad weighs 25 ounces which can seem heavy after reading for an
hour or two. Compare that to 11.6 ounces for the Kindle Wi-Fi, and 12.1
ounces for the Kindle Wi-Fi +3G model. The Nook Color weighs in at 15.8
ounces, the Nook Wi-Fi weighs 11.6 ounces, and the Nook Wi-Fi+3G weighs
12.1 ounces.

The Kindle's 4GB internal memory can store as many as 3500 books. This
is an increase over the previous model's 1500 book capacity. The Nook
has a 2GB internal memory which can accomodate up to 1500 books, but
it also has a built-in expandable microSD slot for up to 16GB of extra
storage. The Nook Color has 8GB of built in memory(up to 6000 eBooks).
That can be expanded to 32GB with a microSD™ memory card slot. The iPad, with up to 64GB of memory, can hold up to 48,000 books, provided
it's not loaded with music and photos.

Both devices can be viewed in bright sunlight,thus no glare on the screen,
and they each allow you to select font styles and sizes, thereby making
reading easier on the eyes.

The Kindle and Nook do not run hot which makes for more comfortable
reading. Both boast long battery life from a single charge. With the Wi-Fi
off the Nook lasts up to 3 weeks. The Kindle lasts up to a month. Expect
shorter run times with the Wi-Fi and, or 3G features on. Even then you can
have days of run time on a single charge.

The Barnes & Noble Nook can access over two million books, magazines,
and newspapers. The Amazon Kindle has access to over 650,000 books
and periodicals. Also, books that are out of copyright, those published prior to 1923, can be downloaded for free. This includes all the classics like Moby Dick, Pride and Predjudice,etc. Those are a lot of choices, so you will never run out of reading material no matter which E-reader you choose.

The Kindle and the Nook have a dictionary, web access, and password
protection so no one else can access your device. The Kindle has a
Text-to-Speech feature which reads text out loud and hands free.
You can choose between a male or female voice and speed up, or slow
down the voice. It also reads the content menus. This would be great for
the visually impaired.

Both have .PDF capability, but the Kindle requires you to email the
document to your device then open it to read. A college student may
benefit from an E-reader in that it eliminates having to carry around heavy text books. Then, of course, the text book would have to be available for download.

Both the Kindle and the Nook allow you to organize your collection of books
by author, genre, or any way you choose. The Nook, in addition to it's 6
inch viewing screen, has a 3 inch color navigation screen which shows the
covers of the books you have downloaded. It can also be used to select and
shop for books quickly and easily . Use your finger to swipe through titles and tap open your next read.

Although the Amazon Kindle is the top selling E-reader at the moment, the
Nook has many features that has put it a close second. This new
technology is steadily evolving, and by next year new features will be
available.

A dedicated E-reader serves a specific purpose - to have your favorite
reading materials at hand for immediate access without having to
carry heavy and cumbersome physical books. It's an idea whose time has
come, and with the competitive pricing as it is, now is the time to buy.

Get Started In Online Marketing With Affiliate Programs

The easiest way to start earning an income online,
even without a website, is to promote affiliate programs.

Many companies, large and small, offer affiliate programs
where you sign up with them to promote their products by
placing ads or links to their products on your website, blog,
email promotions, newsletters, or in an online classified ad.
When someone clicks on the link and makes a purchase,you get
a commission.

Affiliate programs are free to join and the company provides
all the advertising materials you need to get started: links,
banner ads, product descriptions, ad tracking tools etc.

When you join you will be assigned an "affiliate ID" which is
placed in the product link and identifies you as the commission
earner. Commission rates will vary from company to company so
compare the rate with the price of the item being sold.

Also, check the company's "customer return period" or "return days".
Often a person will not buy on their first visit to a site,
but may return later and make a purchase."Return days", therefore,
are the number of days in which a person can return and make a
purchase and YOU will still receive credit for that sale.
Return days can vary from none to a year or more.

Customers who make a purchase through an affiliate program
do not pay more for an item. In many instances prices may be
lower because some companies offer deals available only through
affiliates.

Earning commissions on "one time sales" are good, but consider
promoting products or services that earn "recurring commissions"
which means you will get paid every month for the same product.
This is usually a "membership site" where the customer pays a
monthly fee. When they pay, you get paid as long as they remain
a member.

Why not get started now? Begin by building your own blog.
For content, write a product review, or compare products for which
you are an affiliate.Place one or two links per product in the content. Never overload your blog with a lot of links and ads.

Maybe you are knowledgeable in your profession or hobby. Use that
knowledge as content for your blog. Place related affiliate links
on your blog.

So, get started now! Don't wait for later.

First, you will need a way to receive any payments you will earn.
Go to PayPal and set up a free BUSINESS account.
You can do this after you set up your blog if you wish.

Then go to http://www.blogger.com , OR scroll up to the very top of
this page and click on the "create blog" link .

First, you will create an account. It's free. Here you will create
your user name and password. Write these down and save them.

Here's a hint:
Don't use your personal email address. Instead, create a new email
address with your blog's name. i.e. blogname@newemail.com

Next you will name your blog. Name it according to the subject you
will be writing about. Also, keep your blog title and blog address
the same.For example the blog you are reading now is titled ecominfosource.net and it's address is www.ecominfosource.blogspot.com.

After naming your blog and adjusting the blog's settings, you can
then go on to choosing a template for it. In other words, designing
the way your blog will look. There are many templates to choose
from and many color combinations you can use.

There is much more to affiliate programs and blogging which I will
cover in future posts but the above info will help get you started.

Since you've taken the time to read this far, I have a gift for you.
It's a very popular Ebook I have come across which presents a
strategy for selling any type of product using methods which will
never become obsolete. Plus an ingenious twist which will help
increase your traffic.

It's called The Ultimate SuperTip, written by Harvey Segal (Mr SuperTips) It is in .pdf format, neatly set out, easy to follow, written without hype and not littered with annoying links.

And the cost of this book ? It's free ! Plus, it ends with an
amazing idea for you to money from the book itself.
