E-book readers really took off in 2009. These readers have been around for 10 years now – the Franklin eBookman was launched in 1999 – but it was the release of the Amazon Kindle 2.0, on the large format Kindle DX model in the summer of the same year, that seemed to launch both e-book readers and e-books onto the mainstream consumer market. The Kindle quickly became Amazon’s number one selling product and, with the rapid growth in the e-book market, competing manufacturers either upgraded the existing readers or launched new ones to get their share of what was clearly a rapidly developing market.
