Top 5 devices to read e book on

 In the recent past, readers were forced to lug around heavy bags filled with their favourite books or try to stuff them into already-packed suitcases when travelling. But with the rise of e-reading technology, that’s no longer necessary. A lightweight tablet is all you need these days to carry hundreds of books with you wherever you go. Today, we explore some of the best tablet devices for e-reading for all occasions, whether you’re a casual reader or a bookworm.

Kindle Paperwhite

The Kindle Paperwhite is easily one of the best ways to read your favourite books, offering a perfect balance between helpful features and superb utility. It packs a 6.8-inch display with adjustable warm lighting to help with reading in the dark and an IPX8 rating to protect against accidental immersion so that you can even read in the bath. The battery life is an impressive 10 weeks, which is several times more than what you’d get out of a regular tablet. The device also has the option to pair with Bluetooth headphones so that you can give your eyes a break and listen to an audiobook instead. Storage options are two – 8GB and 16GB – and the price starts at Rs 13,999.

For those looking for an alternative to Kindle, Kobo makes an excellent option. The Kobo Sage delivers “every feature” that the company has on offer, headlined by Bluetooth support that lets users listen to Kobo Audiobooks. The display is sized 8 inches, which is noticeably larger than the Kindle Paperwhite’s, and has an HD resolution with zero glare. Kobo also offers its ebook store, spanning genres like mystery and romance. There are also Kobo Exclusives on offer, with books you won’t find anyplace else.

Apple iPad 10th Generation

Launched in October 2022, the latest Apple iPad doesn’t come with a paperwhite display, but those looking for a full-blown productivity-focused device that also fulfils some of their entertainment needs will find it ideal. The display is sized 10.9 inches
and has a resolution of 1640 x 2360, which is a notch above FHD. The resolution and display size should provide a crisp reading experience. The best sources for ebooks on the tablet include Kindle, Bluefire Reader, Scribd, Google Play Books, and Kobo Books.

Apple iPad mini 6th Generation

If the regular iPad is too large for your liking, then its smaller sibling with its 8.3-inch display will be easier to handle and carry around. The device is also reasonably light as far as tablets go, weighing just 293g. The mini is capable of doing everything that the regular iPad can do, which makes it an ideal e-book reader.

If you prefer a proper tablet over a dedicated ebook reader and the Apple ecosystem is not your cup of tea, then the Xiaomi Pad 5 is one of the best options to spend money on. For Rs 26,999, you get a large 11-inch 120Hz display for scrolling smoothly through your ebooks and the flagship Snapdragon 860 processor for fast navigation. The massive 8,720mAh should last you for more than a day and can be topped up at 33W thanks to fast charging support.
