Kindle, iPad, Kobo, Nook?

Michael Bhaskar compares some of the latest ereaders: "Forget for a second the Kindle, iPad or Sony Reader – how about the Elonex, the iRex, the Bookeen Cybook or the Jinkie Hanlin? Well, maybe not. We have gone from a dearth of ereaders to an avalanche of these strange, grey devices, with their fiddly interfaces and monochromatic, button-festooned feel of an already by-gone era."

Read his essay on the Book Brunch website.
