5 Tips for Choosing an eBook Reader

January 7, 2014 by

You’re a bookworm and love being able to travel with several books at a time with an eBook, but trying to decide which one is the best for you is a challenge. We’ve put together some tips to help you select the reader that best suits your needs. Whether you read newspapers, magazines, or books, you’ll easily be able to find the reader that’s right for you.

1. Look at the readability of the screen.
Many tablets offer eBook reading abilities, but exclusive eBook Readers typically have a much better screen for reading text. Try out the screen to see if you can stand looking at it for long periods of time.

2. Decide if you want internet access.
If you are a reader of books and internet articles, you might want a tablet that has access to both. If you prefer not to be distracted by the lure of the internet, stick with a eBook Reader only.

3. Visit your library.
Both your at home library and public library will tell you about what eBook reader to buy. Not all books are available on each device, so check with your local branch to see which device they support and compare it to the books you’ve been wanting to read to see who has them available.

4. Read reviews.
Check out product reviews by trusted sources on devices you’re interested in. Find out what is included on them and how they compare to other similar devices.

5. Set a budget.
Figure out how much you are willing to invest in a device and stick to it. You can get eBook readers for as low at $39 and as high as $500.
