Ebook reader tiny

If you prefer, you can tap the screen to go back and forth, but the buttons are the main reason to pay the extra money.

The 7-inch screen has the same dpi resolution as the Kobo Clara HD. Every ebook reader we recommend here and almost every e-reader, period , is monochromatic. Black and white, while perfect for reading novels or nonfiction, leaves a lot to be desired for content with color images, such as comics and graphic novels.

There have been a handful of color ebook readers over the years, and the early introduction of the E Ink Kaleido Plus display with support for 4, colors at dpi has led to more new, mainstream models. Color images on the screens of both the InkPad Color and the Nova 3 are fine at best. You can load your own content in various formats over web-based services, or, in the case of the PocketBook, a microSD card. But neither has direct access to the book stores offered by Amazon, Google, Apple, or any other major seller.

From its built-in app store, you can download apps including Kindle and Libby. But the default bookstore on the device includes only public domain works. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 11th generation is identical to the Paperwhite and Paperwhite Kids reader, save for three small differences: It has 32 GB of storage space four times that of the other models, it supports Qi wireless charging, and the backlight automatically adjusts thanks to a sensor above the screen.

These are all nice-to-have features, but not worth the premium price for most people. The Kobo Sage has an even larger 8-inch screen than the Libra 2 and offers a slew of custom accessories, including a charging cover and a stylus for note-taking. The biggest downside to this model is its ppi resolution, which means text is fuzzier and images are blurrier than on the ppi Paperwhite. Compared to the entry-level Kindle with a ppi screen, it has a sharper ppi screen.

But it has similar flaws, including a recessed screen and no waterproofing. Its design is unique compared with that of other Kindles, as it features an asymmetrical body 0. The Oasis is a little wider than the Paperwhite, though it weighs about the same, and it also has a larger 7-inch screen.

And although the previous GlowLight was waterproof with an IP67 rating , this version is not. Unlike tablets, which can do as much as a laptop, ebook readers are mostly dedicated to one task: reading. Both the hardware and software are designed to make the reading experience great. E-readers weigh less than tablets, with the Kindle Paperwhite coming in at about two-thirds the weight of the iPad mini.

Since they can do less, ebook readers are also generally cheaper. Most people find that e-readers are much easier to read for long stretches than tablets. Both top e-reader brands—Amazon and Kobo—support checking out books from your local public library through OverDrive, but Kobo allows you to do so directly on your reader.

If you have a Kindle, you have to use a separate computer or your phone, and then your rented books will be sent over the air to your ebook reader. In most cases, if you want to put your textbooks on an e-reader, you should get a Kindle. Though the Kobo e-readers can store and display any book in the EPUB format, the selection of textbooks is more limited. Amazon has an entire textbook storefront that includes the option to rent books. Not all books are well suited for e-readers, though; if your course or content requires a lot of flipping back and forth, or needs color images, you may want to stick with a print edition.
