I’ve personally gifted my significant other, both of my parents, and my sister an e-reader. Whether you're gifting an e-reader to yourself, a student, or an avid reader, the giftee will immediately appreciate the benefits of these tablet-like devices without having to deal with strained eyes or the harmful effects of blue light from using a smartphone or tablet. They also are much more incognito since the world won’t be able to see the cover of whatever it is you’re reading. Unlike smartphones and tablets that have bright and crisp LCD or OLED displays, e-book readers feature E-Ink screens that are solely developed for long reading sessions, with power efficiency in mind. Although some readers may appreciate that it uses physical buttons for page-turning, we've omitted the Nook GlowLight 4E from our lineup because it has lesser battery life, lacks a waterproof construction, and has a less responsive touchscreen.Į-books are the best way to read (besides, you know, the good ol’ hardcover). For this most recent update, we added a few new models from Amazon and Kobo plus we considered a new e-reader from Barnes & Noble. If you're looking for the best overall e-reader and are ready to add to cart now, we recommend the 11th Generation Kindle Paperwhite. We are confident that these are the best e-readers on the market as of April 2023.

Editor's Note: We reviewed our current product picks to ensure they are in stock, available, and accurately priced.
