SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
The electronic book (e-book) segment, having firmly established itself in the US
market, has plenty of room for growth that will be bolstered by new features such as e-mail and Web connectivity, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com).
An e-book is a handheld consumer electronics (CE) device capable of accessing
and storing a wide array of digitized books for portable use.
Examples are the Amazon Kindle DX and the recently introduced Sony E-Reader Daily Edition.

"According to In-Stat`s most recent consumer survey, current e-book owners
desire email capability in the next e-book they purchase", says Stephanie
Ethier, In-Stat analyst. "Longer battery life and Internet connectivity are the
top two desired features among respondents who don`t currently own an e-book but
plan to buy one in the next year."
