I am a huge proponent for eReaders. I think if you’re gonna read a book, having a paper book is dumb. That’s why my book is only on eReader and getting a paper copy is really a side project. If I get it out as a paperback, that’s fine. If I don’t get it out as a paperback, that’s fine too. The reason is that paper books, as much as people want to deny it, are dying. Amazon, the biggest book retailer in the world, is and has been for the last two years, selling more eBooks than paper books.

So if you haven’t made the jump to the eBooks world, or if you’re looking to upgrade your eReader, this is a great chance to do it. The Sony Reader is 6″ so it’s ultra portable, and the eInk touchscreen means that it will last a very long time between charges. For content you can shop the Sony eBook store or load your own ePub or PDF files

Standard shipping is free for smaller items, but the cost for express delivery and larger items depends on location and quantity/weight.

Amazon Canada has dropped the price on both the Amazon Kindle eReader and the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. The Kindle was $89 and is now $79. The Kindle paperwhite was $139 and is now $129.

• Click here to shop the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

I noticed a little bit ago that there was a price drop on these on the Amazon.com website and I was hoping we might see the same. I am so glad that we finally have!

So, what are the big differences between these two machines? That was the first question I asked myself and I thought you might want to know as well.

The biggest difference is in the screen. the regular Kindle uses an E Ink Pearl display where as the Kindle paperwhite uses the Paperwhite Built-in Light display. This provides a in-screen light and also a better resolution. Another big difference is the controller: the kindle uses a five way controller button located underneath the screen whereas the paperwhite has touch screen technology and uses two point multi-touch. Last but not least: battery. The regular kindle has a four week battery and the paperwhite has an eight week battery. Twice the juice!

No matter which device you go for, you can now get either for $10 cheaper and enjoy free shipping on all orders over $25.

Chapters Canada is currently offering $20 off the Kobo Mini. Regularly $79.99, it has been marked down to $59.99! Also, you will receive a free snapback cover (worth $20) with your purchase.

• Click here to purchase the Kobo Mini @ Chapters Canada

The Kobo Mini comes in your choice of black or white. When you add it to your cart, you will be given the chance to pick your snapback cover in either ruby, purple, or teal. It shows the price as $19.99 for these covers but that cost is discounted in your cart.

This is a fantastic promotion with 25% off the eReader and a free cover. These devices make excellent companions for travel, waiting room times, hospital stays, and any time where you have to spend a bunch of time away from a convenient bookshelf. These are also good devices for children. They can help encourage a love of reading and make good companions on longer vehicle rides.

Kids are going back to school soon but they still have some time to get some summer reading in. Amazon is offering discounts for the next couple of weeks on books for kids and teens.

The books on sale change every day so I can’t link to any of the deals but…

• … if you need a Kindle, click here and pick one up for a low as $109.

I might be biased here, but eBooks are really the future of books. Amazon, the worlds biggest book retailer, sells more eBooks than print books now. Even publishing companies, as slow as they are, are beginning to realize that eBooks are the future. The initial investment is a bit steep for some but the prices are coming down.

For example it is $79 for an ad supported Kindle in the states so, eventually, I suspect we’ll get those prices too. If you have a place to ship a kindle in the states, you can get the $79 one and use it in Canada. You can of course get other eReaders but generally, unless you catch a sale, they are about the same price.

That initial cost aside, eReaders are fantastic in so many ways. Money saving ways, actually. First off, there are a lot of self published authors, like myself, who put their books out for super cheap. Mine, for example, is only 99 cents. There are a lot at that price point as well as the $2.99 price point. If you happen to hate independent authors (shame on you!!)  then you’ll often find your favourite mainstream authors have their books up for cheaper as an eBook than the print versions.

Check out a customers review:

After having read reviews about several of the Ereaders being sold, and after severals of gathering as much information i could, i bough the Kobo Onyx as being the best product including all features and the easy way to set up, navigation, etc…etc.. i’m extremely happy with my purchase and recommended this product to all my friends.

I suspect at this price, these Kobo eReaders will probably sell out pretty quick.

Though hard to price compare, I believe that this deal on a Sony Reader Touch Edition is really good. Sony Style Canada has the Sony eReader on sale for $99.99, original price was $249.99.

• Click here to buy a Sony eReader (Expired)

*** Use coupon code SONYVIP for an extra $5 off, making it $94.99.

I believe Sony is quality: we have both a Sony TV and a PS3 in our house and love both of them. I know people with Sony eReaders (Anna!) and they just love them… have never heard a complaint.

You get to choose from red, black or white for your eReader. What I love about the eReader is that it has 2 GB built in memory, and then additional dual memory expansion card slots to make your reading library virtually limitless. How sweet is that?

For $150 off, you really can’t go wrong!

With that great price on the Aluratek eReader, I checked online to price compare. The same model is $100 at Futureshop, $123 at Amazon, $110 at Newegg.ca, $110 at The Shopping Channel – so $60 is a super price from The Source.

Regular $199, the Kobo Vox is on sale for $179.

It’s got 8GB of storage, or enough room for 8000 ebooks. You can buy an SD memory card up to 32GB if you need more storage.

A friend of mine got one as soon as they came out and she has nothing but good things to say about it, as does this reviewer

I purchased the VOX for my wife, and am pleasantly surprised at the capabilities of the unit. She enjoys the colour touch screen and the freedom it gives her to interact on Facebook, read a book and read her on-line magazines.

It’s a great “do it all” device – perfect if you want to do more than just read. If you are wanting a tablet and an ereader, this is a great idea!

The Kobo Vox will ship for free.
