Step away from the monitor and give your eyes a rest. Ebook readers, also called ereaders, rely on E Ink screens to let you read for long periods of time without the brain burn that comes from a radiant LCD or OLED screen. They have a very long battery life and look terrific in sunlight. Amazon's Kindles dominate the ebook reader market in the US, but if you're shopping around, it's a good idea to look at models from Kobo, Nook, and Onyx.
Basic ebook readers use monochrome E Ink screens to display text. E Ink, or digital ink (often manufactured by the E Ink company), looks a lot like paper, and it's easy on your eyes when reading for long periods. On the least expensive models, it's not backlit, so you'll need light to see the text, just as you would with a printed book. But most ebook readers now include edge lighting that lets you see in the dark. With each model, you can vary the intensity of the brightness from barely there to flashlight-bright. On the lowest settings, you can read in the dark while your partner sleeps peacefully next to you.
Screen resolutions and quality also vary. Some older Kindles use 167ppi displays that look rough and jaggy compared with the 300ppi displays on most new ebook readers. E Ink also keeps improving its screens' contrast and refresh rate. The Carta 1200 technology, used in Amazon's latest Kindles and Kobo's Libra 2, has noticeably faster page turns and a bit better contrast than even the previous 300ppi Carta displays.
If you haven't updated your ebook reader in many years, you'll be stunned at how much more responsive the latest E Ink readers are. Frequent, startling screen flashes are really a thing of the past; the screens flash much more subtly, much more quickly, and much less frequently.
If you like to read in the bath, by the pool, or on the beach, you might want to consider buying a waterproof ebook reader. You have a few options. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite and the Kobo Libra 2 are both rated to withstand submersion in water to some degree. Other readers aren't quite as resilient.
All ebook readers let you highlight or tag particular phrases for later reference. Some have digital pens that let you take notes directly on the screen. The Remarkable tablet line, the Kindle Scribe, many Onyx Boox tablets, and of course, the iPad line all support pen input. In general, they let you annotate on PDFs and other kinds of documents, plus take freehand notes on a blank page. The Onyx Boox Note Air 2 is our favorite E Ink tablet for pen use because of its paper-like feel and strong document format support. The Scribe feels similarly good to write on, but Amazon's Kindle ecosystem requires a bit more effort to get the most out of some document formats.
The Remarkable 2 has a passionate following and is the best tablet purely for taking notes. It isn't a good ebook reader, though, because it supports only PDF and EPUB format books. That means that books from public libraries and from many online bookstores are not an option.
Sometimes you'd rather listen than read. Sometimes you'd like to read and listen at the same time. Kindles can now connect to Bluetooth headphones to play Audible audiobooks. Many Amazon books will synchronize with Audible audiobooks on Kindle ebook readers. Kobos use a proprietary audiobook format. Onyx ebook readers have built-in speakers and the ability to use multiple audiobook apps.
Oddly, Amazon saves its slickest audiobook feature, Immersion Reading, for its Android app, which means you need an Onyx ebook reader to use it. That feature synchronizes words displayed on the page while also narrating through audio.
Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo all use copy protection on most of their books, which prevents you from reading titles on other brands' ebook readers. It's possible to remove the copy protection, but you may also remove features such as formatting and character summaries. It's also gotten much harder to strip the protection specifically from Amazon books in the past year or two. Onyx ebook readers can run all of their competitors' Android apps, which means you can read content from every platform on them.
Amazon's Kindle Unlimited offers more than three million ebooks for $9.99 per month, though Amazon Prime subscribers can access a smaller library as part of Prime Reading(Opens in a new window) without needing to pay extra. For kids, the Amazon Kids+ subscription service contains a lot of children's books and starts at $2.99 per month. You get a free year of it when you buy the Kindle Kids Edition.

If you're just reading mainstream fiction or nonfiction books, the sweet spot right now is $100 to $150 for a good 6- or 7-inch Amazon or Kobo device. You can get a low-end model that costs less or a larger model that costs more, but ebook readers at this price point tend to have the best balance of screen quality and size for most books.
Onyx's tablet-sized readers cost considerably more than other ebook readers, but they're also much more powerful, letting you run multiple reading apps, annotate PDFs, and read large-format documents on big screens. We see these as primarily for academics, lawyers, people who read medical or scientific journals, and others who read for work or school as well as for fun. The Kindle Scribe is much more accessible and less expensive (though still much pricier than the Kindle Paperwhite), but it doesn't have quite as many features.
With that in mind, these are our favorite dedicated ebook readers you can buy today. If you're getting a Kindle, check out our Amazon Kindle tips every reader needs to know. And if you'd rather do your reading on a bigger screen or one with color, head over to our top tablet picks.

Amazon has been selling Kindle ebooks to Canadians since the Kindle Store went international in August 2009, and even though they did little to build up a market share Amazon has still managed to attract a number of Canadian ebook readers.
There used to be a time where the location of the seller of the ebook was important, not the location of the customer, and that situation was much like the paper book market. You could buy from any ebookstore in the world and it would be perfectly legal. But then it changed.
> if it has been happening already in other countriesAs for Germany, the situation is different, as someone with a german creditcard and or bank-account you could order a few things like CD, DVD, Blu-ray and printed Books from Amazon.Com, but nothing else (at least not much). Downloads like Kindle ebooks, MP3, Videos where either not possible, or required a 2nd account and gift-cards for payment or a credit-card with a US-billing-address, and maybe faking your address by using a US-Street-Adress.Which is a rather grey area.If you did not want to do that, you just could not buy eBooks from Amazon.Com. The change at Amazon.Ca / Amazon.Com which affects you, is only possible, because Amazon allowed you to buy eBooks and other things at Amazon.Com. So this does not affect buyers of ebooks in say Sweden or France, they should not have been able (without trickery) to buy eBooks from Amazon.Com anyway.Which does not make it right.
Mr. Nate, I probably know this and has performed this but I can not remember. How does one backup ebooks bought from Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Kobo or Sony?I have their apps on my computers and tablets and have downloaded all books to those, is that the backup? I think what throws me is when commenters use the term "backup" their bought ebooks from these sites.
Just for an update: Today I downloaded and registered kindle on an android device and got part way through buying my first downloaded book (Wild by Cheryl Strayed). It was listed at Amazon.com/Kindle at $6.15 US. Then when I gave my Canadian credit card I was switched to Amazon.ca and the price was going to be $10.99 CDN. The exchange rate atm is 1.00 CDN to .86 US so there is an extra 50% cost via Amazon.ca. I am currently looking for a different source for ebooks. 2ff7e9595c
