For book readers there has been a new movement in the way that books are read. This is the movement is to using electronic book readers. Now there are many different types available on the market. One of these eReaders is the TheBook by Augen. This eReader is unlike some of the other readers available.

TheBook stands out in the market because it not only displays the books you want to read but will read the book to you. This text to sound feature is available on many books unless it has been blocked by the rights holder. This eReader also comes with 150 preloaded books for you to enjoy which include “A Tale of Two Cities”, “Black Beauty” and “Encyclopedia Britannica”. Some other features of TheBook by Augen include built in WiFi, basic web browser, 2GB of storage allowing you to store up to 1,500 of your favorite books and built in speakers. There is also a MP3/MP4 audio and video player available on TheBook so you can play some of your favorite videos and music. One of the best features is the adjustable text size allowing any reader to comfortably read any book. With TheBook by Augen you will be on your way to reading some of the books on your reading list.

It seems that the Kindle and Sony reader devices for e-books are about to get a lot more competition. There’s the Barnes & Noble Nook which is an Android based eReader with a 3.5 inch color touchscreen. It also supports Wi-Fi on the 802.11 b or g standard and AT&T 3G. It has 2 GB of internal storage, a microSD memory card slot, MP3 player functionality, built in mono speaker and headphone port. It also uses free eReader software which you can use on your Blackberry, iPhone or computer. You can pre-order the Nook for $259.

Now Creative has also thrown their hat in the ring as they make the move from MP3 players into the eReader market. Their device will also apparently have a touchscreen, support for SD memory cards and a text to speech function. Rather than just being a device for reading books they will tie in video and music functionality and seek to make it a multimedia accessory. There is no word on the exact specs or price just yet.
