An electronic reading device (eReader) is designed to display digital books, using a paper-like E-Ink display.  A quick comparison of the devices reveals a variety of models, features, and pricing to choose from.  Not only are there a lot of excellent devices to choose from, but there are more electronic readers in development, with every release bringing something new and different.  It can be confusing, however, the real question is simply which electronic reading device is best for your needs, or will best fit the needs of the one for whom you’re purchasing it.

Here are some of the most common features of the best eReaders:

•E-Ink display provides a paper like display, with little or no glare, even in bright sunlight
•Most hold up to 1,500 books, with optional memory cards to add thousands of books to your personal digital library
•Most models are typically less than an inch thick and are available in 5″, 6″, or 8″ sizes. 
•Many models have built in MP3 players
•Certain models can read aloud to you, using experimental text to speech technology
•Digital Books are easily downloaded from a variety of online sources, and are typically less than half the price of a new hard cover book
•Rechargeable batteries last for days or even weeks, depending upon your reading habits
