I am very supportive of the Kindle because it is associate with amazon and all of my accounts are very synchronized between the two devices I have. However it does not have the most amount of formats that you can read for the versions that you want. I would explore an iPad as a tablet reader with apple books and I think it has easier access to pdf and other online copies of books.

Would say probably an I-Pad or any Kindle above Paperwhite. I myself own a paperwhite, however I personally find it to have atrocious detection at times. I still really like it, just would recommend the models above.
A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.

I personally think iBooks is the best, it's the easiest to read from, and you can adjust the color and size as well.

I get why people are into the idea of buying an ebook reader; it's to enjoy that paper-like feel when sit down to wrap your brain around what you're looking at that present moment, but from a personal standpoint if I want it hardcopy I go to a physical store and purchase, if I want the electronic copy I use my smartphone.

I am patiently waiting for my new E-reader to be delivered. I've been waiting to purchase it what seems like forever! I have a Kindle and a Nook, but I wanted something with newer specs, the ability to read a variety of formats, and a slot for a large amount of expandable memory.

The reader is the Boyue Likebook P6 with a free case. It holds a 128 GB (maximum) micro-sd card, and has a battery life comparable to a Kindle Paperwhite. $130-ish is a grand sum of pocket change for this disabled chap, but I look forward to cherishing this "Best For ME" E-reader for many books to come.

The problem with asking which is the best is that there are different "best" devices dependent upon exactly what task(s) you are wishing to perform on said devices. Comic book readers would (most likely) choose a completely different device than say those simply wishing to read an ordinary e-book, someone wanting an audiobook function, or those strange creatures who purchase the devices in order to then spend hours staring at the stock screensavers! ;)

In my opinion, Kindle is definitely the best one. You can find any type of book. Also, several books cost less than a dollar or even come for free, you just have to be checking and it helps to save lots of money.

I've been using Moon Reader+ for a while and found that it is easy to use and surprisingly well updated.

After trying out various apps out there, I find at least two particularly good apps. The first one is Media365, which has all basic features and very easy to use. However, the version I once used didn't show up any attached images properly, and since it bothered me a lot when I was reading an ePub with many illustrations, I've stopped using it since.

The second one is Moon+ Reader, which is more advanced, in my opinion. Besides all the basic features and how it shows all images properly, it is pretty customizable as well, so we can personalize the app however we like. I've been using it until now.

The best suggestion I can give is Amazon Kindle, Google Playbooks, and Apple Books. They don’t require that much that would put your read complex. With them, you can finish your readings in one sitting.

The best ebook reader for me is the Lightreader app.
