E-Reader Reviews

We’ll always love a good paperback or hardcover book, but let’s be honest: e-readers have changed everything. Perfect for when you’re reading something you’d… rather people not know about, or just want to pack in a 10-part ebook series for vacation, there’s no easier, suitcase-friendly way to do it than with an e-reader. You’ll find the latest from Amazon’s Kindle lineup below, along with key competitors like Kobo and Nook.
