Bookmark

There are a number of tools out there that will have you save a blog post so you can read it on your eReader. Some you’ve heard about including Instapaper and ReadItLater, but one of my preferred tools is dotEpub.

This is a free to download bookmarklet type of tool. You use it by visiting the webpage that you want to save and clicking on the bookmark. Wait a few minutes and you will will be offered an eBook to download that will contain just the article and not the ads, complex formatting, or other distractions.

This is one of those goofy ideas that make you wonder why no one thought of it earlier.

That Company Called If, a UK based gift and novelty gadget maker, is now showing off a new dictionary bookmark. It comes with the well-known Collins English Dictionary, which has 38 thousand definitions. You cannot swap the dictionary, but then again I wouldn’t expect to be able to. The bookmark has a d-pad and enter key, as well as a full keyboard (in a non-standard arrangement of characters, of course).

This might not be very useful for Kindle, Nook, and owners of other premium eBook readers, but not and eReaders have a dictionary. This could be a useful addition to a budget eReader, and the size and shape should make it easy to keep it in a case next to the eReader.

You can buy this bookmark for around £20. But considering its disposable nature and the high probability that it will be lost, I’d say that it’s not cheap enough. I, for one, am prone to losing bookmarks in my paper books. $30 is a little much.
