Get what you need from your reader!
● Pick the e-reader that feels good in your hands since you will hopefully be holding it for hours at a time.
● E-ink readers are ideal for books and sufficient for reading periodical newspapers and magazines.
● iPads are easy to use, have a bigger screen and they can do a whole lot more (like e-mail, movies and games), but can cost hundreds more.
