The huge collection of services that Amazon and its partners offer is a major reason why we love the Kindle Paperwhite Kids. While all readers allow you to side-load unprotected content, it’s important that they provide easy access to a large library of commercial books.

Other features: While not required, features like waterproofing and Bluetooth audio can make a good e-reader great.In other words, most specs are less important than how good the ebook reader feels in the hand. Battery life and storage: Most of the readers promise battery life somewhere between six and eight weeks (depending on usage) and offer 8 GB or 32 GB of storage.

Six-inch screens are the most common size, as well as the most portable and likely to be pocketable, although newer readers pack larger screens into similarly sized bodies, which is a bonus. Build quality and size: While most ebook readers are made of plastic, some feel better than others in your hands.Anything lower will mean less crisp text and images. Screen quality: We gave preference to devices with a pixel density of 300 dots per inch, the highest available in any ebook reader and what most models offer.(Unlike tablets such as the iPad, ebook readers use a side-lighting system that provides a glow across the screen, rather than from behind it.) Because this feature is so prevalent, we didn’t test any readers without it. Built-in lighting: Most e-readers provide their own light for reading in dark environments.I'd also want to be able to set up the Libra in a steeper angle than what is possible with the official Kobo SleepCover. I had the same dilemma when I bought a cover for my Iphone 8, which still ended up costing roughly 50$! Ideally I'd want to support local stores, and not companies originating from China, as well as to boycott Amazon, but even so, I just can't justify the 40$ for a seemingly measly cover.

I see that there are many third party alternatives for half that price on and such, but I wonder if these are viable alternatives, or merely chinese crap? I'll also try to keep myself short here, since writing with one arm on a keyboard is a slog.Īt any rate, I believe that the official Kobo SleepCover for the Kobo Libra 2 is too expensive at roughly 40$, which is what they charge for it in Sweden, where I live. It will be the only somewhat comfortable way to read books whilst laying down, since my left arm will be in an armsling for 4 weeks! I've recently had surgery done on my left shoulder, which is what promted me to finally decide to buy the Kobo Libra 2, after much deliberation.
