The price of this new reader is $139.99. This is excellent value considering the high quality and specifications available from this new device.

Features of the Google Story HD eBooks Reader

Lightweight and slim

The Story HD weighs only 207 grams. The thickness of the whole device is only one centimetre. But the small and lightweight size does not limit the user. In fact it enhances the reader’s experience. The Story HD is so small and compact that it can easily be brought and read anywhere.

Battery Life

To fully charge up the battery of your Google Story HD it needs for four and a half hours. Then the reader will have a battery that lasts for six weeks which will give you over ten thousand pages of text.

This long life of battery power is made possible by Google because when you are reading a page there is no energy used from the battery. Therefore even slow readers can relax knowing that the battery is not being used up.

Storage of your eBooks

The Google eBooks Reader may be small and very light but this does not mean Google has compromised on storage space. The reader can keep over 1500 eBooks in their own library on this new Google iRiver Story HD.

Screen quality for the reader

The new Google iRiver Story HD has the highest resolution for a 6" screen in the world. This produces sixty three per cent more pixels on the screen than its closest rival.

This is 1024 x 768 resolution compared to the Kindle DX Reader which has only 800 x 600. Therefore the Google iRiver Story HD has 213 pixels per inch.

The Kindle DX Reader has 167 pixels per inch.

What these figures mean for the owners of a Google iRiver Story HD?

More pixels or dots produce a much higher quality of text on the screen. What this gives the reader is a much better experience of reading eBooks.

No more strained eyes or even headaches from long reading sessions.

QWERTY keyboard

The reader has a built in QWERTY keyboard so that when the user is searching for an e book they can use a familiar keyboard.

This keyboard is designed in such a way within the Reader that the user can operate it with only their thumb.

This enables the user to use only one hand when needed.

Flexibility reading an eBook

With the Google iRiver Reader you have the very convenient option of continuing to read your eBook from a laptop, computer, Smart Phone or iPad.

And not only that but the Story HD will remember the page where you finished reading and bring you to this page as you go from one device to another.

1. A faster response time when you turn over to a new page.
2. Best Ebook reader on the market for reading comics because the screen has a greyscale display.
3. Made to retract sunlight from the screen so reading outdoors in the sunshine is not a problem
4. Compatible with these document formats. PDF, TXT, and Doc.
5. Built-in Dictionary
6. It has 2Gb of memory as standard which allows you to save over 15,000 ebooks in your library but this can be extended to 32GB if required.

Digital reading of books is becoming more popular especially with the better resolution of the screen which makes for easy reading.

The Google Story HD allows free access to the Google eBookstore. This means over 3 millions free books for the user to read.

The Google Story HD looks like a winner to me. Google and iRiver have produced to best eBooks Reader on the market. The price of $139.99 is very reasonable too.
