eBook reader at a glance

These are electronic devices for mobile use with which digital content can be displayed.

E-readers have a display that has a diagonal between 5 - 10 inches (12,7 - 25,4 cm).

Depending on the model, bestseller e-book readers also have a slot for memory card and SIM card as well as audio support for
the playback of audiobooks.

How does an e-book reader work?

In an e-book reader comparison, many users find a great similarity to tablet PCs. However, this is only true at first glance. There are considerable differences between an e-book reader and a tablet PC.
The display of the e-book reader does not need backlighting. It uses a display technique called electronic paper (e-ink). It comes very close to the sight of real paper and is easy to read even in direct sunlight. In the e-book reader test report, the quality of the resolution corresponds approximately to that of the printed image of a daily newspaper. Most devices in the e-book reader rating allow a continuous enlargement of the display, which is a great help for the visually impaired.

E-book reader recommendation: Who should buy such a device?

You should buy an e-book reader if you like reading a lot. The e-book reader is definitely a recommendation if you are traveling a lot and for a long time, for example by public transport. With the e-book reader you can wonderfully bridge the time and use it wisely. Even if you like to be out and about in the city or nature, sitting in a café or on a bench, the e-reader is very convenient. On these occasions he can show off his advantages. You can choose between dozens of books. If you wear glasses, you will appreciate that, thanks to the magnification function, you can read the texts with the naked eye in many cases.

An e-book reader is not the right device if you prefer to watch videos and photos, are on the go on social networks or want to follow the latest news from all over the world. In this case, you should choose a tablet PC instead of buying an e-book reader.

E-book reader review: what to look for

When buying an eBook, there are a few points you should note so that the reading experience is optimally tailored to your reading habits. This includes product features such as display size, brand, equipment and accessories.

Size

The most important criteria when buying include the dimensions and weight of the device. Here you have to decide for yourself what is more important to you, a large device with an easy-to-read display, but also heavy and not very handy, or a compact device that is easy and comfortable to hold, but whose display is also more difficult to read is.

Brand

This criterion is very important for e-book readers because up to now there is no e-book on the market that can reproduce all formats. There are currently almost 120 different products on the market. If you want to buy an e-book reader, you have to invest an average of 100-160 euros. The average e-book reader has a display size between 6 and 7 inches and a resolution of 1.448 x 1.078 pixels. This corresponds to the requirements of the HD standard. The internal storage capacity is between 4 and 8 GB.

Facilities

The most important feature of an e-book reader is the display. It should be bright enough, have a good resolution and be easy to read even in daylight. A good scroll function makes operation easier. Also make sure that the e-book reader is at least splash-proof. If you use the device frequently on the go, it can always happen that you get into a rain shower.
You do not really need a SIM card for the e-book reader. You can download the e-books via WiFi. Free WiFi is available in an increasing number of places, including train stations, shopping centers, buses and trains.
Integrated audio support can be very useful if you prefer to listen to an audio book instead of reading from time to time.
In contrast, color displays are superfluous in most cases. Devices with a color display did not perform well in the e-book reader rating. The color rendering cannot compete with that of a smartphone. The response time is too slow and the power consumption is higher, so that the battery drains faster.

Accessories

If you buy your new device in the e-book reader shop, you should definitely order a suitable bag with it. The bag protects the display when the e-reader falls down or is packed in the backpack or briefcase together with other items. Headphones are essential for an e-book reader with audio support. It allows you to enjoy audiobooks on the go.
