How to pick an eReader?

So you decided you wanted an eReader but don't really know what to look for in a top eReader? Well on this website you will get the opportunity to make an educated selection.

First, you must find an eReader that uses the eInk system. This system causes the digital device page to look like a real book page - this is very important since you don't want your eyes to hurt after a long read, as they do when reading off the computer.

Second, make sure you get an eReader with a good size and weight (most eReaders have the size of a 1/3 of a magazine, and should weight 10 ounces), so it's comfortable, portable, and easy to carry around.

Don’t forget screen size - find an eReader that has a comfortable screen - either the 6 inch screen or the 9 inch screen, keep in mind that you must insist on a display screen that has no reflections- if you do you won't have to worry about the glare from the sun, when reading outside.

Your chosen eReader should have a good font size (some e readers have a font enlargement option) font enlargement is a great function especially for senior readers and sight impaired readers.

Pick a device that supports different file types, if you don't make sure, ahead of time, what files you need or want - you might find that the eBook you wanted to download is not supported by your eReader device.

Find an eReader that uses its battery power only when a page is turned - this way you will conserve the eReaders energy and you wont need to charge it for at least two weeks (or 2500 page turns which ever comes first).

And the most important thing is to find an eReader that is wireless! If your eReader isn't wireless it will be much more difficult for you to download eBooks. eReaders that have wireless capabilities allow you the freedom to download eBooks whenever you want and from wherever you are.
