Ebook readers are miracles of technology. You can hold literally thousands of novels, textbooks, biographies and even graphic novels and cookbooks in one thin, lightweight device that you can chuck into your carry-on or keep by your bedside.
Better displays with higher resolution have made such devices better than ever in recent years. E-ink is a gloriously simple technology, which is easy on the eyes (often, there’s no reflective glass like a tablet, and never a backlit screen with light pointing directly at you) and has battery life measured in weeks or months rather than hours.
