    Review

    This latest version of the Kindle Paperwhite is thinner and lighter. It boasts twice the storage capacity, but perhaps the most attractive feature is that it’s waterproof. That’s a huge advantage for people who like to read by the pool or with their favorite beverage.

    However, what makes this the best tablet for reading is the glare-free display with 300 ppi. This means that the Kindle Paperwhite mimics the look of the pages of an actual book. That’s easier on your eyes so you can read for hours.

    Reading in bright sunlight is never a problem thanks to the adjustable light, and one battery charge has the potential to last for weeks. Plus, this model is equipped with Audible so you can listen to your favorite books.

    What Customers Are Saying

    People generally love the Paperwhite because it looks fantastic and is easy to use. However, some customers complain that the included USB charging cable doesn’t fit the e-reader.

    Things to Love
    • No screen glare
    • Huge storage capacity
    • Long-lasting charge
    Things to Consider
    • The charger cable may not fit

    Summary

    The Kindle Paperwhite is thin, light, and easy on the eyes.

    Review

    Equipped with an eight-inch HD display and 32 GB of memory, the Fire tablet functions well as an e-reader. However, it’s also a multi-function tablet, making it the best cheap tablet that you also can use as an e-reader.

    A full charge will give you 10 hours of battery life, and each tablet is Alexa hands-free enabled. You can use this tablet with millions of different apps and games as well as streaming your favorite movies and shows.

    This tablet is equipped with a Kindle app so you can read millions of ebook and magazine titles. If you’re a nighttime reader, you’ll appreciate the Blue Shade technology that optimizes the tablet’s backlight for an experience that won’t interfere with your sleep.

    Factors to Consider When Buying the Best Tablet for Reading Books

    If you haven’t used an e-reader before, then it may be easy to get overwhelmed by the number of choices out there. You can certainly download an e-reader app onto any tablet, but these devices aren’t always optimized for reading.

    Screen

    That’s a critical distinction because the most important factor to consider when choosing an e-reader is its screen. If you’re a voracious reader, then you’ll be looking at that screen hours.

    Accordingly, how much glare that screen puts off is a major issue. Is a color screen right for you, or do you prefer e-ink technology that mimics the look for an authentic book page?

    Backlighting

    Also, do you prefer to have backlighting or would you rather dispense with it? Because these and other screen-related issues all may affect your enthusiasm for an e-reader, it’s actually critical that you do some test driving before you make a commitment.

    Try to buy at least two or three contenders

    If possible, try to buy at least two or three contenders, keeping in mind the return window for each. Dedicate a few hours to reading on each to see what you like best. A non-glare screen that can be viewed in every condition from bright sunlight to total darkness is a must for most people who read electronic books.

    Most people swear by e-paper or e-ink technology because it doesn’t cause the same kind of eye strain that is comparable to staring at a computer screen all day.

    Pictures

    You also may want to think about whether or not pictures are important to you. If your e-reader will be used with children’s books or comic books, then you want a device that can handle images with aplomb.

    An e-reader that can handle graphics similarly is critical if you enjoy thumbing through magazines.

    Consider a model that has an LCD screen. It will be heavier and have shorter battery life than an e-ink model, but if images matter, then it’s worth it.

    Tablets for Reading Books FAQs

    What is e-ink?

    Also called electronic ink, e-ink is basically electronic paper. This display technology makes a device’s screen look just like the page of a book. Accordingly, there is no screen glare, and the screen is visible in any light environment. This technology even prevents the eye strain that is common with many electronic devices.

    What is a front light?

    Many e-readers rely on front light technology rather than the backlighting that is common with LCD screens. Because e-ink is opaque, backlighting doesn’t work with it.

    This means that front lights must be used instead. These are LED lights that are placed along the sides of the screen to provide an even, diffuse illumination across the entire screen. Once again, this helps to eliminate eye strain.

    How much storage capacity do I need?

    Many common e-readers today can store 5,000 to 6,000 titles with ease. Most people won’t read that many books in a lifetime. Others may find this a bit limiting. It’s important to understand that eight or 16 GB of storage usually is more than enough for most people.

    If you rely heavily on images with your reading, then you may want to step up to a 32 GB or larger device.

    Making the Decision

    After all of our research, we believe that the best tablet for reading books is Kindle’s Paperwhite. It’s an economical choice that performs under every imaginable circumstance. Reading it for hours is no problem thanks to the e-ink technology that it uses. Plus, the technology is super-accessible and easy-to-use.

    If you don’t mind spending more money, then take the leap for the Kobo Clara. Between all-around reliable performance and a lack of ads, it’s hard to go wrong.
