Devices for reading electronic books (E-Book-Reader) have recently become increasingly popular. Does this trend mean the closure of printing houses around the world? - Most likely not, all statistically, owners of reading devices buy ordinary books three times more often than those who have not yet purchased them. It is noteworthy that unlike paper books, most people reading books from the screen are men.
The advantages of this class of devices include mobility, large capacity and a long working time. Next, we will consider in more detail the advantages of electronic readers.
Availability
Along with the dimensions, functionality and battery life, a very important parameter is the ability to download the exact book you need on your device. There are various options for how this can be done. The simplest is buying an e-book in a store. Device models such as Amazon Kindle Keyboard 3G and Amazon Kindle Touch 3G allow you to do this without connecting the device to a computer and without connecting via WLAN. Other devices will require a computer or wireless access. Therefore, before buying a device, immediately decide on how you will add books to the reader.
Sunlight? - Not a hindrance!

E-ink technology (electronic ink) makes reading as comfortable as possible regardless of the brightness of the light. True, since the screen does not glow on its own, in the dark you will have to turn on the lamp or backlight. Updating the image on the screen takes much longer than on the phone or computer, so viewing the video is not possible in principle, just like the display of color photographs. The most you can count on is 16 shades of gray.
Spaciousness
Many manufacturers emphasize the amount of internal memory, presenting this parameter as one of the most important. In fact, this is not at all as important as it seems at first glance. Even on one gigabyte, you can fit more than a thousand e-books. Another thing is if the E-Book-Reader is bought for other purposes, such as listening to music and viewing images. In this case, memory cards, usually of the MicroSD format, will help to increase memory. A really important characteristic for book lovers should be the weight of the device, since even a difference of 100 grams with prolonged use will be sensitive.
Alternative
To read from electronic devices it’s not at all necessary to buy an E-Book-Reader. You can read books from the screen on smartphones, tablets, laptops and portable game consoles. True reading on these devices is usually not so comfortable.
