Christmas dates are approaching and what better gift for these dates than a good electronic book with which the most readers can enjoy their passion throughout the year. Just like when you give an ebook or a book, there is a different eReader for each reader, so an eReader that you recommend or like may not work for the person you want to give it to. That is why I have prepared a small shopping guide with the best eReaders to give away during this Christmas and that can also be bought in a physical store in Spain, so the purchase and the gift is within everyone's reach.
For those who do not like to complicate their lives or who do not move very well through the technological world, the best option to give this Christmas is a Kindle. Currently you can buy these devices through the Amazon website or in department stores such as Worten. Regardless of the hardware of the eReader, Amazon offers us a virtual hard disk that is synchronized with our eReader so that we will have the possibility of uploading ebooks and pdf's without having to buy them and we also have the Amazon catalog, so the complications to the time to read an ebook are minimal. Currently there are two eReaders, a basic one with an affordable price and a more complex one, the Kindle Paperwhite, which has a higher price. Either of the two options is valid if we want to give it to someone who does not seek complications when reading, but if the person is an avid reader, my personal recommendation would be the Kindle Paperwhite as it offers a better reading experience.
But, it may be that the person who receives the eReader this Christmas you do not like Amazon's policy or you do not want to buy online or you are just good with new technologies and you want a freer device. In these cases, the best option to give this Christmas is the Kobo eReader. Currently they can be purchased in Spain through the La Central bookstore; On the one hand, we can buy the ebooks that we want through its catalog but if we do not want to buy them, since they are free or are bought in other libraries, we can load them on a microsd card and insert it into the eReader as if it were a game console cartridge. treated. Today there are many Kobo eReaders but the most affordable and basic is the Kobo Globe although if we have large pockets, Kobo Aura seems the best option.
The third alternative that I give you is the one offered by Tagus World and The House of the Book. This alternative It is the same as the one offered by Kobo but with the flavor of the Spain brand. In the catalog of The book house We will find many works and ebooks in Spanish and also the most important Hispanic publishers. In addition, your eReaders have a microsd slot, so we can use ebooks purchased in other libraries or free books that we have downloaded through a repository. Although the tendency of La Casa del Libro is to imitate Amazon, the ecosystem of La Casa del Libro is still green so the eReaders of La Casa del libro are not recommended for people who get on badly with new technologies. If this option is chosen Tagus Tactile It seems the most balanced option, an affordable price and very good features, although if you prefer a more complete option, Tagus Lux is the perfect option.
Opinion on purchases for this Christmas
Recommending the purchase of an eReader as it happens with the purchase of an ebook or a book is something very difficult, although it will be a lot during this Christmas, as it helps to solve this possible choice I have used a very arbitral and too generalized classification which may or may not fit, that will depend on you. It can also happen that our budget for this Christmas is not in the price ranges of these eReaders, if it is the case, I would consider expanding that budget or changing the gift. The reason for this is simple, an eReader is not something that is discarded so it pays for itself quickly, taking this into account, any eReader will be profitable if the person to whom it is given loves to read, if on the contrary we think Since the person is not going to use the eReader too often, the cheapest option seems like the best idea.
