| File Formats Supported | |
Ebook File Formats Supported:E-books are packaged in many different file formats, and not all e-readers support all formats. Many books are available for free in .txt, .pdf, and .epub formats, and these formats are supported by most e-readers. Books available for purchase at retail sites like Amazon, however, are packaged in specially-developed formats, and are not supported by all e-readers. The number of e-books that are available to read on an e-reader depends largely on the number of formats that are supported by the e-reader. The most popular open formats are PDF and EPUB, both of which are formats available for download from Google Books. Protected formats include AZW, used by Amazon and often DRM-supported, LIT by Microsoft, and BBeB from Sony. Given that users looking for the best overall ebook readers have a preference for PDF, AZW and EPUB and prefer a larger number of ebook file formats supported options, the Amazon Kindle Fire achieves 100% performance in this category. | PDB, PDF, PRC, AZW (wrong info?) |

| Storage Capacity | |
Memory:An e-reader's memory determines how many e-books it can store. E-readers vary vastly in the amount of memory they have.
