Eight Things to Look for in an eReader

Screen: E-ink or LCD?

• E-ink image displays reflect the ambient light in a room, so they look exactly like printed paper.  LCD displays use a strong back light that is modulated using liquid crystals.

Resolution

• Resolution is composed of thousands of pixels or dots. The higher the resolution, the better image quality you’ll receive. The highest resolution available at the time of this article is 300 dpi on an e-ink screen.

Size

• eReaders come in different sizes, so when choosing one it is important to evaluate your needs to determine which one is the best fit for you.

Battery Life

• The battery life of your eReader is one of it’s most important features.  Depending on the model that you choose, you could have as little as a few hours of battery life up to several days of usage on a single charge.

Content

• Since eReaders are manufactured by different companies, you will usually only be able to download content from a specific source.  If you purchase an eReader from Barnes and Noble, you will only be able to purchase and download content from the NOOK eBook store.

The Amazon Kindle only allows content from Amazon Kindle Bookstore and AppStore, however you can easily convert PDF and word documents into a support format like ePUB, so that they can be read on any device.

Navigation and User Interface

• When it comes to navigation and user interface, every eReader is different. Most eReaders feature an easy to navigate touch screen, and you should test the menu and outer buttons that are present on each device that you interested in purchasing in order to determine which is the most comfortable to use.

Usage – How Do you Plan to Use it?

• Are you going to spend hours and hours reading books? Or are you more of a “web browsing, mobile apps, emails, and documents” person? Simple e-ink Kindles are great for reading for long hours, but you’ll miss those “Smart Tablet” features that Kindle Fire can offer if you are the second kind of user.

Covers and Cases

• Every eReader needs a cover to protect it against the dirt and damage. An e-Reader can be used anywhere, but it is fragile and can be scratched and broken; therefore, a case is the ideal way to protect your investment.  Covers come in many different styles and budgets, so it is simply a matter of choosing the one that is right for you.

Price

• Thankfully, over the years, eReaders have become more affordable to purchase. Nowadays, you can easily purchase an e-reader for as little as $80 or spend up to $200.00 or more for full-featured devices.

We have reviewed several devices here for you, including the Kindle Voyage Latest, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle 6, Paperwhite, Fire HD Tablets, the Samsung Tab 4 NOOK, and the Glowlight NOOK. eReaders are changing the way that we read and interact with our world.  When you purchase an eBook Reader, you open up a world of reading that is unlike any you’ve ever experienced.

You have instant access to books, magazines, documents, newspapers, the internet and a whole new world of technology at your fingertips.  And it just doesn’t get any better than that.
