Reading is a hobby that millions of people share around the world. In fact, it's pretty safe to say that reading is actually one of the universal hobbies that we all seem to share. You don't have to come from a certain country or even a certain background to appreciate reading.

You know what else is considered a universal hobby? Technology. We're pretty passionate about Android phones, but the truth is that the screen size means that you might want something a little bigger when it's time to actually get in a hardcore reading session. So why wouldn't you want to do that? Why wouldn't you want to make absolutely sure that you have the best reading experience possible?

Well, one of the reasons why people don't think about it is because they don't know where to begin. There are actually a lot of eReaders out there, and how do you know where to begin? Well, this has been a great year for the reading public -- why not check out the best eReaders in 2011?

Here's a few to get you started:

The Amazon Kindle would have to top the list. It's an eReader that got a lot of press when it first came out, and one of the good points for Android fans is that there is an Android app for the Kindle. So you can actually switch off -- some days you might want to read on the Kindle, but other days you might want to just go with your phone. It just depends on your lifestyle, really.

What about the Barnes and Noble Nook Color? It's a great experience that is hard to beat -- even though some people do still swear by their Kindles. If you’re really thinking about trying to enjoy yourself, you can't go wrong by looking at the Nook Color. As the name implies, you're going to be browsing in full color, which is always a good thing.

So, what about the Kobo eReader Touch? A lot of people don't know the brand name by heart, but it is one of those that definitely get attention as more and more people realize that there are options outside of the Amazon Kindle and the Nook from Barnes and Noble.

What's the right choice for your own needs? Well, in order to find that out you'll need to stop and think about your reading habits and the type of specs that you're looking for. As long as you keep those things in mind we don't see why you can't find an eReader that you'll enjoy for a long time -- why not get started today?
