One word won’t describe the thousands of different electronic and handheld devices that are available on the market. Gadget is a small technological object such as a device or an appliance that has a particular function, but is often thought of as a novelty. Gadgets are invariably considered to be more unusually or cleverly designed than normal technological objects at the time of their invention. Gadgets are sometimes also referred to as gizmos. Types Of Gadgets In the year 2010, we saw the biggest jump in new devices, here were the top 7: Top 7 Gadgets of 2010 1. Tablets 2. Smartphones 3. MP3 Players 4. Gaming Laptops/Systems 5. E-Readers 6. Motion Sensing Gaming Consoles 7. 3D TV’s E-Reader iPod / Mp3 Player Page 3 What’s the best Gadget for me? To answer this question, you first need to ask yourself, what is it you’re interested in doing with your gadget. Any one salesperson or expert can point you in the right direction and try and sell you on the latest device, but you need to decide for yourself. Ask yourself these following questions: Do I want to watch movies? Do I want to listen to Music? Do I want to read books? Check email and the internet? Look out for the Latest Trends The introduction of touch screen technology is one of the biggest advancements in the world of consumer electronics. Once you browse through the specs of the most popular mobile devices and music players of today, you will see a lot of them having a touch screen on top and a couple of user interface tweaks to go with it. Touch-screens are common in devices such as game consoles, all-in-one computers, tablet computers, smartphones and most recently televisions. Productivity & Connectivity Another reason why customers react positively to all the new devices is because of the allowance for staying connected while on the road. Check email, stay in touch with clients, and have internet access 24/7. In addition; productivity has also become an essential selling point. It has never been so easy to be able to produce and polish up presentations, papers, design graphics, websites and videos. Compatibility Certainly life is getting easier for novice tech users. Download a song on your computer, and you can expect to see it on your phone, tablet and laptop instantly. With the developments and inclusion of services such as iCloud, Google Sync, Dropbox and Microsoft Cloud, you’ll never have a problem finding a file on any of your devices. iCloud stores your music, photos, apps, calendars, documents, and more. And wirelessly pushes them to all your devices. Page 4 III. eBook Readers What’s an eBook? An electronic book (variously, e-book, eBook, digital book) is a book-length publication in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, and produced on, published through, and readable on computers or other electronic devices. Sometimes the equivalent of a conventional printed book, e- books can also be born digital. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines the e-book as "an electronic version of a printed book," but e-books can and do exist without any printed equivalent. E-books are usually read on dedicated e-book readers. Personal computers and some mobile phones can also be used to read e-books. Different formats of eBooks: The following is a comparison of e-book formats used to create and publish e-books. A writer or publisher has many options when it comes to choosing a format for publication. While the average end-user might arguably simply want to read books, every format has its proponents. The file size for texts without images depends on the file format, but is always relatively small compared with a richly illustrated text. The following is a comparable chart on some of the more popular formats: Page 5 PDF vs. ePub By far, the most popular formats on the market at the moment are both the PDF and ePub formats. Most, if not all Tablets, SmartPhones, eBook Readers and Computer Systems can read these formats. More and more publisher are producing one of the following formats to ensure the audience will have no problem downloading and reading a eBook. The PDF file format created by Adobe Systems, The EPUB format is rapidly gaining popularity and as initially to provide a standard form for storing printable of 2011 is the most widely supported vendor- documents containing a set of page images.

If you have purchased an ebook, you will receive two emails: one confirming your order, and the other containing a link to continue to your download. These emails are automated and should arrive immediately after purchase; if you have not received an email within two hours, please email: [email protected] If you have requested a review or inspection copy, it will need to be approved by a Bloomsbury staff member.
