You certainly aren't alone if you are wondering if you actually need another electronic device in your life. When ebook readers first came out, everyone thought that they were a waste of time - after all, you could always read on your computer, right? But, reading on a computer screen is not that easy, especially when you are reading volumes of work. But, when you purchase an ebook reader, you will find that it is actually an easier way to read than the printed page itself.

If you are thinking of buying one,What to Look for When You Purchase an Ebook Reader Articles then before you purchase an ebook reader, you should do your research. They are not all the same, and just because you pay a lot of money for the most expensive one, it certainly doesn't mean that you will be getting the most features for your money.

One thing to be considered is size. Some of these readers are about the size of a paperback, and about half an inch thick. If you are comfortable holding this in your hand and reading, then choose this size. However, some people like a bigger screen or something more substantial to hold on to.

Some models have backlights so that you can read in the dark, but you might be surprised to find that the vast majority do not. They are lit to primarily read in natural light, and you may need a book light to read at night in bed. If you purchase an ebook reader, you may also want to buy a cover or a stand in addition to a book light.

Finally, make sure that the reader you have has a Wi-Fi connection so that you can download at home on your network, or in a coffee shop, airport, or other place with Wi-Fi. It will make downloading quality reading material a lot easier.
