What’s the Best E-Reader You Can Buy?

There are many aspects to be considered when you choose an e-reader that is right for you. The following are the main ones we thought of while creating this list.

Screen type: The majority of electronics (from smartphones to TVs) have an LCD screen that reflects light and can be difficult to read under the sun. The e-ink screen on e-readers is anti-reflective and almost looks like paper. Unfortunately, the only color options for eink displays are black and white.

Size of the screen: A digital book should not require you to strain your eyes. All of our picks have at least a 6-inch display. This will allow for a similar reading experience to a paperback. You can adjust the text size of your e-reader to suit your comfort level, however screen size is still important.

Battery life: E-readers are one of the most energy efficient gadgets because of their single-use purpose and black and white e-ink display. If you only read an hour per day, your E-reader can last for several weeks before needing to be charged. We made sure the picks on our list had the highest possible battery life, so you aren’t stuck on a cliffhanger in the middle of a flight.

Storage: Digital books take up a surprisingly small amount of space even the big ones! This guide includes e-readers that can hold hundreds, while others have expandable storage for more files.

Formats supported: The majority of digital books can be downloaded in EPUB format, however our selections allow you to read much more. We took this into consideration because you want to use multiple digital book marketplaces to build up your library, or store your own documents.

Screen lighting: Older e-readers didn’t have any source of built-in illumination, which meant you had to rely on a natural or artificial light source to read. It’s difficult to read if your partner is asleep or you are near a busy area such as a train or plane. All of our picks have a lit screen, so you never have to worry about those problems. One thing to consider: an illuminated screen will use more power, so you may have to charge your e-reader more often.

Waterproofing: A waterproof ereader is necessary if you plan to read in the water or at the beach. It’s not yet standard but this feature is on its way.

Amazon Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite model is the gold standard in ereading devices. Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite model has been updated to be thinner and lighter. The screen is easy on the eyes in natural light (I’ve used a Kindle for years, and can attest to that) and has five backlights, so you can use it in the dark.

There are two storage sizes available on the Kindle Paperwhite. One is 8GB and one is 32GB. Each can store several hundred books. The only reason to get the upgraded storage option is if you plan on connecting headphones to the Kindle Paperwhite over Bluetooth, which lets you listen to audiobooks from Audible. It is not possible to listen to non-Audible audiobooks, or other music.

Best E-Book Readers At A Glance:

Amazon Kindle Oasis 2019 is the best overall Kindle. Best Kindle replacement: Kobo LibraH2O Kindle Paperwhite (2018). Best ebook reader at a bargain price: Kobo Clara HD. Why this product should be purchased: If you already own a collection of Kindle ebooks, then use it for audiobooks or simply love WhisperSync.

This is for you: A hardcore reader who has a lot invested in Amazon.

Reasons we chose Amazon’s Kindle Oasis (2019).

Amazon’s newest Kindle Oasis 2019 is a small update to its 2017 model. It’s still the best Kindle available, though it’s also the most expensive. This is what makes the Kindle Oasis such an amazing device. The Kindle Oasis has a gorgeous 7 inch display with a pixel density at 300 pixels per in and well-placed buttons for navigation.

Amazon says the Kindle Oasis will last for six weeks with a single battery, but you may need to charge it after a few days depending on how your settings are set up. It is more than enough for most people. The thinness of the device means that it lasts for quite a while. The screen can also be adjusted to adapt to the environment so you don’t need to adjust it constantly.

Because all ebooks are lightweight, the internal storage of an ebook reader is not as critical as that for a tablet/smartphone. There is an 8GB storage option on the Kindle Oasis that can hold thousands of books. But, a 32GB option may be more convenient for people who listen to audiobooks by Audible using Bluetooth earbuds. Library books can be downloaded to your Kindle. Overdrive has a simple interface that lets you send e-books to your Kindle over the internet no plugging in required. You can also highlight passages from your favorite books and share them on social media, look up the meaning of words, and get context for fictional and nonfictional characters, places, settings, and more through a feature called X-Ray.

In terms of new features, the 2019 Kindle Oasis includes a color adjustable front light. The screen’s colors can be adjusted to change from dark blues at night. IPX8 water resistant means the screen can be immersed in freshwater up to 6.5ft away.

Unfortunately, the device still doesn’t accept certain e-book formats. However, you can view EPUB files with manual effort. It does not have the latest USB-C port that the Paperwhites now offer. The Oasis, however, is our favourite Kindle. It’s the one we recommend if you are willing to spend more money on this e-book reader.

Kobo Libra 2 is the best Kindle alternative. Here’s why you should purchase it: Kobo Libra2 is a fantastic e book reader. It doesn’t face any limitations like Kindle owners and can read a variety of ebook formats.

Who it’s for: Anyone who wants a waterproof e-book reader that isn’t tied to Amazon.
