"You can bring your entire library on vacation without an extra suitcase. If you're working through a 1,349-page novel such as Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy, your wrists will thank you. And unlike a phone, your e-reader won't constantly interrupt you with news alerts and texts, so you can lose yourself in a new world or focus on learning something new."
"As an avid reader all my life, I embraced the convenience of ebooks years ago, starting with an early Kindle model. My local library has a vast catalog, and my virtual queue is always full. Most weeks, I'll get through a book or two or three. Even when I'm not reading, I'm listening to podcasts to find out which book to pick up next. I'm also a veteran tech journalist with more than eight years of experience testing and reviewing products."
E-readers combine extreme portability and convenience with fewer interruptions than phones, allowing large libraries and long novels to be carried easily while reducing wrist strain. Modern e-readers have improved screens, brightness, weight, and capabilities. Six popular models were evaluated over more than a month using identical tests including daily carrying, accidental drops, and submersion of waterproof models. Evaluations covered battery life, charging speed, and extra features such as Dropbox integration and content availability from libraries. Regular reading patterns and podcast-driven discovery of new books are common among avid e-reader users.
