The best books to read are the ones that engross the mind and the heart. They are also the ones that can be read while on the move or at home, seamlessly. Thankfully the birth of e-readers has made this dream very much possible. You can whip out an e-book reader anywhere and start reading from where you left it. So, if you are one of the few bibliophiles who have not yet invested in an e-reader, here is a guide for you.
· Your choices
There was a time when Kindle alone dominated the market. It was the sole e-book reader that the majority of people bought. But Amazon’s e-reader is not the only reasonable option today. From Barnes & Noble’ Nook to Kobo’s Forma and Clara, the field is wide open when shopping for gadgets to read books on.
· The screen
The most significant factor to ponder while purchasing an e-book reader is the screen. If you want a basic device then their screen will use E-Ink. This type of display is very similar to paper, and it is the easiest on the eyes. Unlike tablets and laptops that harm due to constant and prolonged use, monochrome E-Ink screen are relatively innocuous.
The drawback of basic readers is that they lack backlights. If you want to read in the dark, you’ll need a lamp. It should be noted that new e-readers come with edge lighting.
· The size
Barring the screen type, the other factor to consider while shopping for e-readers is the size. Most devices stick to the tried and tested 6 inches, but a few come in bigger 8-inch size like the Forma by Kobo.
The screen, the size and the brand are the three basic elements to contemplate while buying an e-reader.
