10 tips for buying an eReader

We are aware that Buying an eReader is not an easy task, as there are more and more models available on the market.. That is why today we want to offer you a series of tips that you should take into account when buying one of these devices.

If after reading these tips you still have doubts, it is best not to buy impulsively and look for more information, which you can do on our website, although you can also ask us for an opinion from us and other users in our forum that you can access from the following link.

Here are the 10 tips for buying an eReader or electronic book:

1. First of all, think about whether what you really need is an eReader and not a tablet. The eReader is mainly oriented to read books in digital format and not to other things. If you are convinced of what you need is an electronic book, consider whether you want a screen of a normal size (most devices on the market have a 6-inch screen) or you prefer something larger (the options are smaller but they exist)
2. Looking for a touch eReader or don't you care?. Although it may seem silly, over time it can prove decisive. Non-touch devices offer certain advantages, but are often uncomfortable in the long run. Our advice is that you buy a fully touch eReader
3. If you read in bed or in places where there is not too much light, note that you must buy an eReader with an integrated light. If light is not important to you, you can move on to the next tip
4. Evaluate the design of the device and also if there are covers for that eReader, since you may need to protect it to store it in your backpack or purse
5. Check the weight of the eReader. This is something that we do not usually pay too much attention to and that can be decisive. The reading times are usually long and the device weighs too much, you will end up with tired arms. There are not too many electronic books on the market that weigh too much, but there are some
6. Be aware of the formats that the device supports. Not all devices read all eBook formats. Without going any further, the Amazon Kindle will not allow us to read digital books in EPUB format, which today is the most used format
7. Keep a close eye on the internal storage space of the eReader and if you have the possibility to expand it via microSD card. If you want to have a very large library stored on the device, you need some GB than another although keep in mind that eBooks take up very little space
8. Value the price of the device depending on the use you are going to give it. If you are going to use it little, I would say that it is not worth spending too much money, the market is full of good and cheap e-books. If you are going to use it practically every day, our advice is to buy something of a higher quality, which means spending a few more euros.
9. Many devices already offer the possibility of accessing digital libraries, in the event that you do not have, for example, another device such as a computer, it will be essential that you can buy eBooks from the eReader itself. Otherwise every time you want to read something you will have to do a long and complicated process to put the digital books in your eReader
10. The last tip once again is that do not buy in a hurry and impulsively. Think about what you need, if you are going to use it, no, and what use you are going to give it. If you also have doubts, it is best to ask someone you know who knows about this topic or ask us, we will be happy to answer you
