The best jumbo e-reader you can count on

I love reading physical books, but my Kindle has replaced it most of the time, especially while I’m traveling. Not only are e-readers lightweight, allowing you to take them just about anywhere, but many models feature built-in lighting so they’re easy to use in low-light conditions. It’s also cost-effective: you can find plenty of e-books, articles, and even some graphic novels for free online, including from your local library. To help you find the best device for your needs, we’ve rounded up the best e-reader options on the market right now.
Sure, you can read an e-book on your phone, but that’s not an ideal experience. Plus, dedicated e-readers don’t have email, the Internet, social media, or other distracting entertainment options to tempt you away from reading. They also have great battery life. And unlike common phones and tablets, which can drift in direct sunlight or boast a painful, strobe glow, many e-readers use E Ink, which produces something of a monochromatic text display.
I like E Ink screens because the outstanding coating and matte screen make it look like printed paper. If you have sensitive vision, this is probably the best feature, as it is much gentler on the eyes. Glare-free touch screens make reading on the device a pleasure. The best e-reader models are water resistant, so they’re great for reading at the beach or by the pool.
With a digital e-reader, not only do you have the freedom to take as many books as you want with you, you can also search for and highlight passages of text and change font size with ease. A few also come with an accompanying stylus for taking notes. All of the best e-readers on the market have self-illuminating screens, so you don’t have to worry if you don’t have a reading light.
The list below (which I update periodically) is populated mostly with Amazon Kindle e-readers, including the classic Amazon Kindle, the Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Oasis, because I think it’s still the best digital “ecosystem”. Amazon offers plenty of subscription options and lower budgets, too. And while Barnes & Noble still makes the Nook e-reader, I wouldn’t be in a rush to recommend it. If you want to steer clear of Amazon products, I suggest opting for the Kobo model.
So, are you ready to start reading? Whether you’re big on biographies, a fantasy freak, blown away by sci-fi or looking for a graphic novel, the best e-readers 2023 have to offer below.
Amazon has released a new Kindle E Ink e-reader for $100 that no longer looks entry-level. While its 6-inch screen makes it an e-reader that’s smaller and lighter than the Kindle Paperwhite ($140), its screen has the same 300 dpi resolution as the Paperwhite. However, this scaled-down model adds water resistance and includes a more sophisticated front-lighting scheme, with 17 lights compared to the 2022 Kindle’s four.
In the past, we’ve recommended stepping up to the Paperwhite if you can afford it, mainly because it had a higher display resolution than the entry-level Kindle, which allowed text to appear sharper. But since both models now sport similar displays (at least as far as resolution is concerned), we may have to revise this recommendation.
The Kindle (2022) is available in black or denim blue.

With Amazon upgrading the 2022 Kindle’s display resolution to match the Paperwhite, an e-reader has become more attractive to beginners — the gap between the two models has narrowed. However, the Paperwhite feels a little more premium and durable, and has a few key additional features: a larger screen, water resistance and a more sophisticated and adjustable lighting system. It’s a CNET Editors’ Choice Award winner in the eReader category.
Note that the escalation form, and Paperwhite signature edition, adds wireless charging, additional storage — 32GB instead of 8GB — plus an automatically adjustable light sensor for $190. A children’s version is also available. As with previous Kindle models, expect the Paperwhite to go on sale sporadically throughout the year. It should cost about $100 during the sale.

a bunch of contenders Touch screen electronic readers with an electronic pen These double as digital notebooks available from other companies, including Kobo and ReMarkable. But the Kindle Scribe is the only 10.2-inch E Ink front-lit e-reader with a high-resolution 300ppi (ppi) E Ink display.
The writer’s size and weight make it more of a burden to carry around, especially when you consider that the smaller Essential Kindle can fit in a coat pocket. But overall, Scribe strikes a very nice balance between a large-format e-reader and an e-ink note-taking tablet. People likely have some quibbles about Scribe’s high price and the power of its tagging and note-taking capabilities, but we expect to see the device improve in the coming months with software and feature updates.

Amazon’s best-selling E Ink e-reader has been slightly updated in 2019, but this Kindle e-reader is basically identical to Previous Kindle Oasis Except for one major difference: It has a new built-in color-adjustable light that allows you to customize the hue from cool to warm, depending on whether you’re reading during the day or at night. You can also schedule the display temperature to automatically update as the sun rises and sets – it’s no different Night shift mode on Apple devices.
At $250 for the basic configuration, the Oasis is pricey for an e-reader. Most people will be happy to use the less expensive Paperwhite for reading e-books than the Kindle, but if you want the best with an anti-glare screen for your reading experience—and don’t mind paying a premium for it—the Oasis is arguably the one. the Kobo Formawhich also lists for $250, has an 8-inch screen, larger than the Oasis’ 7-inch screen, though it’s currently sold out.

There was a select group of readers who loved the 9.7-inch Kindle DX, which was discontinued several years ago. Sony and others have made “tablets” the size of the iPad, but they’re often very expensive. Kobo is now trying to fill that bulky e-reader niche with the 10.3-inch Elipsa, which is sold as the “Elipsa Pack” and includes the SleepCover and stylus. The screen is very sharp and easy to read with an E Ink Carta 1200 touchscreen with a resolution of 1,404 x 1,872 (227ppi) and dark mode.
Despite having a 1.8GHz quad-core processor with 32GB of storage, an E Ink device like this still feels relatively sluggish compared to an iPad (with Apple Pencil). But performance is good enough and battery life remains a big strength of the E Ink devices—like other e-readers, the Elipsa’s battery life is rated at weeks rather than hours. Elipsa supports 15 file formats (EPUB, EPUB3, FlePub, PDF, MOBI, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF, TXT, HTML, RTF, CBZ, CBR).
It weighs 13.5 ounces, plus the cover adds extra weight, making it a pretty heavy e-reader. However, you can use the case to support the e-reader so you don’t have to carry it around while reading, taking notes, or revising and marking up documents. Large e-readers aren’t for everyone, but if you like to see lots of words on a page or increase font size, this Kobo e-reader is an attractive option. It’s also good for looking at PDFs.
