We looked up 30 ebook titles from the November 11, 2018, New York Times Best Sellers combined print and ebook fiction and nonfiction lists (The New York Times is the parent company of Wirecutter), noting availability and price. While all readers allow you to side-load unprotected content, it’s important that they easily provide access to a large library of commercial books. Library: Ebook readers can’t stand on the strength of their hardware alone.

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 4 or 8 GB of storage.
#Amazon ebook portable
Six-inch screens are the most common size, as well as the most portable and likely to be pocketable, so we prefer them.
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 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.
