Ereader purchase
Ereader purchase
PriceI just got myself an ereader and I'm really liking it. It's a bit heavier than smaller gadgets, but I do like how I can see a whole page and how quickly the screen responds. I mainly got it for the size, so the text-to-speech feature was a nice surprise. One thing to remember is that not all USB-C cables will work with the ereader, so it's best to stick with the one it came with. Overall, I'd rate it four stars, but I knocked off one star because it was pretty pricey.
