eReader Reviews

The Kobo Aura H2O is one of the brightest, most attractive readers around and to top it all off, it’s waterproof.

The Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight is the first e-reader to integrate built-in illumination, so you can read long into the night without a lamp or book light.

Our review of the Nook Tablet, Barnes & Noble's second foray into the 7-inch tablet world and first attempt to fend off Amazon's Kindle Fire.

Amazon’s 2015 Paperwhite has double the pixels of its predecessor and almost no lag. It’s one of the best ebook readers you’ll find, so long as you’re wedded to Amazon’s library.

Built specially for children, the Amazon Kindle Kids Edition is a basic e-book reader with some special extras. At an affordable $110, it's the perfect device to kindle your child's love of reading. Its parental controls could use some work but it offers kids a good bit of fun and incentive to learn.

The new Kindle Paperwhite (2021) finally brings USB-C to the table, plus color temperature adjustment, and a bigger screen with thinner bezels.

It’s 2019, and Amazon’s latest Kindle Oasis still comes with a Micro USB charging port over USB-C. But that’s just about our only complaint with the newest top-of-the-line ebook reader, which comes with a new color-adjustable front light. It helps makes it Amazon’s best yet.

The Kindle Paperwhite (2018) has long been Amazon's most beloved ebook reader. After three years of waiting, the Paperwhite finally got a refresh for 2018. And while it may look the same as its predecessor, new features like Bluetooth connectivity and an IPX8 rating makes it a worthwhile upgrade for serious readers.

At a significantly lower price than the top-tier ebook readers, the Kobo Libra H20 goes toe-to-toe in the features department, making it a tempting proposition. Kobo had to compromise on the design and build quality, but this is still a compelling device with a color-adjustable light and water resistance.

A few minor downsides notwithstanding, it's a device that comes highly recommend for sheer reading pleasure, albeit not pure technical versatility.

Amazon's book selection and always-on connectivity push the Kindle ahead of Sony's sexier offering.

In our review of the Barnes & Noble Nook we learn that the Nook has a few tricks up its sleeve that set it apart from the Amazon Kindle. But can a few tricks compensate for its late entry into the e-reader market?

We review the Alex e-book reader by Spring Design which features syncing dual screens and Google's Android operating system.

Review: The Amazon Kindle Fire strips out frivolous tablet features in favor of a low price, ease of use and outstanding content.

Amazon pushes the e-reader to a new level with a gorgeous new front-lit screen and updated touch interface.

The Sony Reader’s lack of a light-up screen leaves it behind many competitors, but its light weight and sharp design still leave an impression.

Kobo downsizes the eBook experience with the Mini while also lowering the price. Size isn't everything, but is 5-inches too small?

The Kobo Glo's lighted e-ink display is better quality than the Kindle Paperwhite and the Nook with GlowLight, but the e-reader's other attributes may not be enticing enough to lure e-book lovers away from the big boys.

With the Aura HD, Kobo has released the first HD E Ink e-reader. But is fancy screen enough to make up for its premium $170 price?

The new Nook GlowLight boasts a better display and a brighter, more even built-in light. Barnes & Noble should have stopped there with the changes, but it didn't.

The new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite improves upon last year's model but doesn't break what worked. Sporting a high-quality display, even light, comfortable design, and speedy performance, it's a good value at $120.
