An eBook reader, or ereader, is a hand-held device for reading electronic books and other printer materials formerly published in paper form.

The first commercially successful ereader was the Kindle, which began to be sold by Amazon in 200?, and it was closely followed by the Nook (Barnes & Noble). Ultimately, these specialized devices may end up being superceded by the corresponding app on tabled computing devices. However, the lasting development is the development of workable, standardized formats for electronic books, such as mobi, which allow a book to be transferred to any one of a variety of different reading devices, programs, or apps.
