The aim of this article is to help you find the best ereader to order from Santa!
The low-priced Kindle is the simplest and cheapest available.
With its well-considered price, touch screen and lighting, it should suit most people without costing you too much money.
The e-reader is also compatible with the “Prime Reading” bookshop, which offers thousands of free ebooks for reading as long as you have an Amazon Prime subscription.
This Pocketbook Verse e-reader (review) is new for 2023 and features blue-light filtering.

The Kobo Libra Colour is the king of Kobo e-readers for the end of 2024. It features a 7-inch color touchscreen with the latest generation display, offering excellent contrast and high resolution.
In addition to the illuminated screen, this e-reader is waterproof and even allows for listening to Kobo audiobooks! A blue light filter is also included to help reduce eye strain when reading in the dark.
Its ease of use and complete integration with the Kobo ecosystem make it very user-friendly. While it is priced a bit higher than other e-readers, I believe this is completely justified.
