In the world of digital reading, 2015 was a year of significant advancements. This article takes a closer look at the standout e-readers from major brands like Amazon, Barnes & Noble (Samsung rebranded), and Kobo.
The Kindle Paperwhite (7th Generation), released by Amazon, boasts a 6-inch, 300 PPI display, an adjustable light, and a glare-free screen. While it excels in affordability and high-resolution display, it falls short on storage capacity and waterproofing.
Kobo's H2O, on the other hand, is a waterproof e-reader with a 7-inch, 265 PPI display. Its versatility lies in its ability to support multiple formats, making it an ideal choice for readers who enjoy a variety of content.
Barnes & Noble, formerly partnered with Samsung, offered the Nook Glowlight. Although not a new model for 2015, the Nook Glowlight remains a strong contender due to its glowlight feature, perfect for nighttime reading.
It's worth noting that older models from both Kindle and Nook should be avoided due to their lower resolution displays and outdated features.
For those seeking a general-purpose e-reader, the Kindle Paperwhite (7th Generation) is a solid choice, offering a high-resolution display and adjustable light. For those needing waterproof capabilities, the Kobo H2O is the ideal option. Lastly, the Nook Glowlight is an excellent choice for nighttime reading.
