eReaders have become hugely popular in the past decade and a half, with book lovers adopting digital reading for convenience – you can store hundreds (if not thousands) of ebooks on a single portable device and take them all with you wherever you go. eReaders have been designed for the sole purpose of reading ebooks and documents on a screen that mimics the look of paper.
These e-paper screens consume a lot less power than the LCD displays on other tablets and phones, thus offering you weeks of battery life on a single charge. Moreover, these screens – made by a company called E Ink – often filter blue light and let you alter the hue of the light during the evening so as not to overly disrupt sleep.
