It's now very common to see people on public transport reading on a Kindle or someone waiting for a flight at the airport lounge, scribbling away on an e-paper writing tablet. Digital reading and writing is now so popular that several brands of ereaders are now competing for your attention and, recently, large-screen E Ink tablets for writing have been selling well despite their higher price tags.
Yet, two brands still stand out as the most widely available and selling some of the more popular models: Amazon Kindle and Kobo. While the word 'Kindle' is still synonymous with 'ereader', I'd encourage you to explore more options as you may well get better value out of a Kobo, particularly if you live outside the US.
