Digital Devices

While digital magazine editions are not yet widely supported by eBook devices, you can still take a look at some of the devices that may soon be capable of supporting the digital content available at eMagazines.com. eMagazine digital editions are best viewed on a computer and many of the magazines are available on the iPad or iPhone. Some other eReaders on the market are capable of supporting digital media that is presented in a PDF format--(you can find the digital editions presented in the PDF format by typing "PDF" using the eMagazines.com "site search" tool). 

Since Apple began developing the Newton in 1989, gadget heads have dreamed of the perfect electronic reader. An electronic reading device would pack your bookshelf into one electronic handheld device. Naturally, achieving this dream has taken a couple of decades of tinkering.

There have already been numerous reader applications for PDAs, but the Amazon Kindle has been the category's standard-bearer since its 2007 debut. The Kindle drove a 235 percent spike in e-reader sales in 2009. The Consumer Electronics Association estimates more than half a million e-readers were shipped in 2008, and the demand for electronic readers continued to surge in 2009. The must have Christmas gift in 2010 is expected to be an eBook or eReader.

eReaders may soon be able to support digital eMagazines, but for now eReaders are best used for reading digital books. For more information about the electronic readers that are currently on the market, as well as the devices that are soon to be released, read on.
