Result of Survey of Kindle, Nook, Sony, iPad and OverDrive eBook Store Collection Size

March 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Number Of Titles In eBook Store Collection Is Important

The number of titles available in an eBook Store is an important consideration for potential buyers of eBook readers, and therefore also for companies producing these readers. However despite claims of millions of eBooks in collections of some leading eBook readers, anecodotal evidence of dissatisfied customers unable to find a sought after book has become significantly common. This survey by eBookReaderGuide.com (http://www.eBookReaderGuide.com/) has collated data that helps to clarify the true size of competing eBook Stores and thus help consumers to make informed decisions.

Statistics And Fiction

eBookReaderGuide.com discovered that some of the eBook reader marketeers seem to have caught the fiction writing bug themselves. Their findings are summarized in the charts shown at http://www.eBookReaderGuide.com/2011/03/13/kindle-nookcolor-ipad2-sony-overdrive-which-ebookstore-has-most-ebook-titles/.

It is clear that the large potential for disappointment with the eBook store collections of Barnes and Noble and Sony is due to the high consumer expectations built up by marketeers claiming over two million titles in their collections, but letting readers down by including very large numbers of free, public domain books in their collections, many one or more centuries old.  

Which eBook Store Has The Largest Collection

Stripping out the free titles from the various eBook Reader stores reveals eBook collection size that concurs more with the experience of owners of eBook readers. Except for the essential classics and occassional promotional free ebooks, it is the paid titles in the book stores are the ones that are most likely to be at the top of reading lists. And if owners or manufacturers of NookColor, iPad or Sony eBook readers were hoping that the local elibrary may be able to loan a sought after title, well think again. As our survey shows, Kindle owners are much more likely to find a sought after eBook. For future updates bookmark http://www.ebookreaderguide.com/category/ebook-readers/.
