How To Choose The Best eReader
Welcome to the ebook reader choosing guide!
If you are having trouble deciding which new device to get, this guide will help you determine the best ebook reader for your specific needs by looking at some key differentiating factors between brands.
The first thing to do before deciding to get a new ebook reader is to identify the features that are most important to you or the person you're buying it for, along with determining exactly what you want to use the device for.
There is no such thing as a perfect ereader (yet). Each offers different ebook selection, features, and functionality. So lets start with the heart of ebook readers: content.
Step #1 – Digital Media Selection
