E-reader or book: advantages and disadvantages

ereader synthwave

E-readers are electronic devices, and it may not necessarily seem worthwhile to use an e-reader to read instead of a book.

But, there are many advantages to reading on e-readers:

  • Ebooks (electronic books) are cheaper than paper books
  • You can hold a e-reader with one hand
  • The fonts can be very large which is useful for people with vision problems
  • You can carry thousands of books in one device
  • etc
  • If you want to know all the advantages of using a e-reader to read, you can check this article: top reasons to use a e-reader to read ebooks.

In addition to visually impaired people who need large characters to read (and therefore a reader), we can also use a font like OpenDyslexic which should allow dyslexic people to read more easily on a reader than on a paper book.

It is not necessarily a miracle solution, but it has proven itself in many cases. So you can try it!

However, you don't have to read exclusively on a e-reader.

I think that the e-reader can't replace paper reading. But, the two are perfectly complementary. So, I have collections of paper books that I don't have on e-reader.

But if I want to take something to read on a trip or on the subway, bus or train, it's much easier to carry a 6-inch e-reader, which is thin, light and takes up less space than a paper book.

The other advantage of the e-reader is that you can access classic literature for free. The texts in the public domain are available for download for e-reader without having to pay money.

So, if you like classic authors, you should invest in a e-reader. Even if you pay $100 for your e-reader, you'll pay back your investment very quickly with the free books you read.

If you read a lot, you can also turn to unlimited reading subscriptions. For example, you have the Kindle subscription for Amazon e-readers. For about $10 per month, you will have access to thousands of digital books for download. If you really read a lot, this can again quickly pay off.

What criteria should you use to choose your e-reader?

woman asking a question

Now that you know more, you may want to buy a reading light. But first, you need to ask yourself the right questions to make sure you're making the right choice.

Don't forget that you can check out the complete and detailed e-reader buying guide.

Here are some criteria you can take into account when choosing your e-reader:

Price: what budget do you have? You can have a good e-reader for $129,99 and an exceptional model for more than $200. But you can also start from $99,99.

Screen size: e-reader screen sizes start at 6 inches, but you can go up to 10 inches. A 6-inch e-reader is more portable, but an 8-inch e-reader offers more reading comfort.

Lighting: Many e-readers have lighting for reading at night. The latest e-readers even have a blue light filter.

Text-to-speech: if you want to try text-to-speech, you should know that very few e-readers can read text!

Waterproof: do you read a lot by the pool or in the square? Then you should consider waterproof readers, which are more expensive but more solid.

Color: Reading lights with color screens are available, although these models are still expensive and few in number. There is the Pocketbook Color for example which is available in the US.
