Ereader or printed book: pros and cons

E-readers are electronic devices, and it may not necessarily seem worthwhile to use an e-reader to read instead of a book.

But, there are many advantages to reading on e-readers:

• Ebooks (electronic books) are cheaper than paper books
• You can hold a e-reader with one hand
• The fonts can be very large which is useful for people with vision problems
• You can carry thousands of books in one device
• etc

If you want to know all the advantages of using a e-reader to read, you can check this article: top reasons to use a e-reader to read ebooks.

In addition to visually impaired people who need large characters to read (and therefore a reader), we can also use a font like OpenDyslexic which should allow dyslexic people to read more easily on a reader than on a paper book.

It is not necessarily a miracle solution, but it has proven itself in many cases. So you can try it!

However, you don't have to read exclusively on a e-reader.

I think that e-readers can't replace paper reading. But, the two are perfectly complementary. So, I have collections of paper books that I don't have on e-reader. See also : https://world-of-ereader.com/ebook-vs-paper-book.html.

But if I want to take something to read on a trip or on the subway, bus or train, it's much easier to carry a 6-inch e-reader, which is thin, light and takes up less space than a paper book.

The other advantage of the e-reader is that you can access classic literature for free. The texts in the public domain are available for download for e-reader without having to pay money.

See this page if you want to download free ebooks: Download free ebook, comics and audio books on the Internet

So, if you like classic authors, you should invest in a e-reader. Even if you pay $150 for your e-reader, you'll pay back your investment very quickly with the free books you read.

If you read a lot, you can also turn to unlimited reading subscriptions. For example, you have the Kindle subscription for Amazon e-readers. For about $10 per month, you will have access to thousands of digital books for download. If you really read a lot, this can again quickly pay off.

What criteria should you use to choose your e-reader?

Now that you know more, you may want to buy a e-reader But first, you need to ask yourself the right questions to make sure you're making the right choice.

Don't forget that you can check out the complete and detailed e-reader buying guide.

Here are some criteria you can take into account when choosing your e-reader:

Price: what budget do you have? You can have a good e-reader for $129,99 and an exceptional model for more than $200. But you can also start from $99,99.

Screen size: e-reader screen sizes start at 6 inches, but you can go up to 10 inches. A 6-inch e-reader is more portable, but an 8-inch e-reader offers more reading comfort.

Lighting: Many e-readers have lighting for reading at night. The latest e-readers even have a blue light filter.

Text-to-speech: if you want to try text-to-speech, you should know that very few e-readers can read text!

Waterproof: do you read a lot by the pool or in the square? Then you should consider waterproof readers, which are more expensive but more solid.

Color: e-readers with color screens are available, although these models are still expensive and few in number. There is the Pocketbook Inkpad Color 3 for example which is available in the US.

After a very nice upturn during the pandemic, it seems that e-readers are selling less and less. At least, fewer people are buying new models.

So we will study this.

A sharp drop in sales in the US

The first thing we can say is that a recent study shows that e-reader sales in the US are not doing very well.

This concerns the Kobo, Nook and Kindle brands – a very popular brand in the US.

The data comes from Statista (link: https://justpublishingadvice.com/the-e-reader-device-is-dying-a-rapid-death/ ) and shows that Kindle e-readers are becoming less and less convincing.

Here’s a chart that shows that e-reader sales, which used to be around $460 million worldwide, could drop to $160 million (US) by 2025.

You should also note that Kindle ereader sales seems to be stable.

Digital book sales stable

If e-reader sales are down, how come readers are still reading digital books?

It seems that studies show that digital book sales are doing well (globally). So people are still using a digital device to read ebooks.

These devices can be: e-reader, tablet or smartphone.

So, these three devices are suitable for reading books even if it is obvious that the e-reader is largely superior because of its electronic ink screen which allows a display close to the paper which is ideal to read for hours on a screen.

But, the readers for assiduous could be satisfied with a smartphone or a tablet. Especially since these two devices can display color. If color is useless for novels and mangas, it is important for reading comics or magazines.

Is this the end of the e-reader?

The study presented above is very pessimistic for the e-reader. Indeed, everything seems to indicate that people will buy less and less e-readers to read ebooks.

Will people settle for paper, smartphones or tablets to read? I’m not sure.

First of all, we have to put e-reader sales in perspective.

On the one hand, the pandemic has allowed many people to buy e-readers. The e-reader has the advantage of allowing the purchase of books without having to leave home. It was a big plus for the security of people during this difficult time (especially since some countries have chosen to close bookstores).

If you bought a reading device 2 or 3 years ago, you don’t need to buy it again today. E-readers are very durable devices that don’t need to be replaced on a regular basis – unlike a smartphone that starts to malfunction and is outdated 3 to 4 years after its purchase.

Then, a technological transition begins with the arrival of new generation color e-readers, like the Pocketbook Viva.

If these new reading machines live up to their promise, comic book readers could jump on them to finally properly consume their favorite albums with as much ease as novel readers.

Sales could then pick up again in a few years.

Why people are buying less e-readers: my conclusion

People are buying less e-readers because of a too slow technological evolution of the machines which do not impose a regular renewal.

If today I read every day (or almost every day) with my Kobo Libra 2, my old Kindle Paperwhite and its 6 inch screen still do the job. I might as well keep reading with my Pocketbook Touch Lux 5 which is still excellent and reliable.

So, people who are already equipped with e-readers don’t renew their equipment as quickly as they do with smartphones (or tablets). So it’s hard to compare this market to the smartphone market.

But that’s not all: many new readers (the younger ones) are starting to read digitally with their smartphone. These devices are equipped with 5 inch screens (and sometimes more) which allows to read in better conditions than 4 or 5 years ago.

If some people will switch to e-readers for their visual comfort (and to limit fatigue), we can imagine that others will keep this habit and continue to read on their smartphone.

The decline in e-reader sales may therefore be temporary and does not herald the end of digital reading. On the contrary, I think more and more people are starting to read every day on an electronic device.

Around me, more and more people (of all ages) are reading on iPads, smartphones or e-readers.

The Readmoo MooInk Plus 2C will be the first color e-reader to be equipped with the famous Kaleido 3 color screen that has been expected for almost a year. So was it really worth the wait?

The Kaleido 3 color display technology had become the talk of the town in terms of color display technology for e-readers.

Long announced and presented to the press, the Kaleido 3 screen is the second evolution of the Kaleido E Ink color screens.

Namely: the Pocketbook Color is equipped with an E Ink Kaleido 1 screen. And the Pocketbook InkPad Color is equipped with a Kaleido Plus screen (2nd generation).

This Readmoo MooInk Plus 2C reader will finally offer a Kaleido 3 screen with a diagonal of 7.8 inches that will seriously overshadow the Pocketbook InkPad Color.

However, we shouldn’t get too excited. First of all, it’s a reading device designed by a rather obscure Asian company: Readmoo. Secondly, it is reserved for the Asian market. So you won’t see it on the shelves in Europe and you’ll have to import it to get it.

That being said, we have reasons to be happy. Indeed, Kaleido 3 technology is quite promising for color e-readers. Here are the new features brought by Kaleido 3 (this is a company release):

• 30% more vivid colors than the Kaleido 2/Plus version
• A lighting technology called E Ink ComfortGaze that promises a significant decrease in blue light emission
• A diagonal available in 7.8 inches but also 10.3 and 13.3 inches
• Display of 4096 colors

We will have more realistic colors, better lighting and the possibility of having larger diagonals on a color machine.

The technical specifications of the Readmoo MooInk Plus 2C e-reader also tell us that this 7.8 inch screen comes with a resolution of :

• 1404 x 1872 pixels in black and white
• 702 x 936 pixels with colors

The number of displayable color pixels is therefore less than on a classic black and white e-reader, but the combination of color and black and white should make it widely usable.

Here are the rest of the specifications of this Readmoo MooInk Plus 2C e-reader:

• Screen E Ink Kaleido 3 7.8 inches (1404 x 1872 pixels in black and white / 702 x 936 pixels with colors)
• Touchscreen
• Lighting with ComfortGaze technology to reduce blue light by 60%.
• 1.8 Ghz processor
• 2 GB RAM memory
• 128 GB of storage for files
• 2050 mAh battery
• Wifi
• Bluetooth 5.2
• USB type-C
• Weight: 280 grams

Information about the operating system is not disclosed and this machine is announced for April 2023 (in China) at a price of about $500.

Note that if you order it on an e-commerce platform, you may have to add extra costs for shipping or taxes.

If I’m not thrilled with this Readmoo MooInk Plus 2C e-reader, it’s not because of its technical specifications or its screen technology.

It’s more because of its lack of official availability in the US and its interface which will only be in English and some local languages (Cangjie, Instant, Zhuyin, Pinyin).

In itself, this release is a very good thing since this reader will finally allow us to know more about this long awaited Kaleido 3 color screen !

Will it finally be possible to read comics and comic books in good conditions? It’s hard to say, even if the photos communicated by the brand are promising.

We’ll also have to keep a close eye on the comparisons with the new Pocketbook Viva reader, which should be available soon.

This Pocketbook Viva also offers a new color screen, but this time with a different and equally promising electronic ink technology: a Gallery 3 type screen.

So, this spring will be very interesting for everything that concerns digital reading and ereaders with color screens!

(Last edit : february 28, 2023)

After the sneaky release of the TCL NXTPAPER 10S tablet and its color screen adapted to reading, the company TCL is back with a new version with a new color screen: the TCL NXTPAPER 11.

On paper, the TCL NXTPAPER tablets have everything to convince: we have a large color screen (10 inches and more) capable of displaying both text and color while remaining pleasant for the eyes.

But in practice, we found that the result was not as good as expected when it came to reading. If the experience was correct indoors, it was quite different outdoors where the Kaleido e-ink screen technology remained superior.

Nevertheless, TCL has chosen to persevere by proposing an evolution of its technology with an improved screen called NXTPAPER 2.0 which will come to equip the Android tablet TCL NXTPAPER 11 next May for a price close to $300.

This evolution comes to correct some problems encountered with notably a reinforced luminosity which works in conjunction with a sensor of luminosity which will come to adjust the lighting according to the light conditions.

The objective is to find the best possible setting to allow reading in all conditions, which should improve the readability of the screen outdoors.

Here are the technical specifications of this TCL NXTPAPER 11 tablet:

• NXTPAPER 2.0 screen of 10.95 inches with a resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels
• Lighting
• Tactile (with pen support on more than 400 pressure levels)
• MediaTek Helio P60T processor
• 4 GB of RAM
• 128 GB of storage
• Speakers
• Bluetooth 5.0
• Wifi 5
• Micro
• 8000 mAh battery
• USB-C
• Support for micro-SD cards
• Cameras (front and rear) of 8 MP
• Android 13
• Dimensions of 163.3 mm x 6.9mm
• Weight: 462 grams

We are therefore facing a real Android tablet (version 13) that will allow the addition of entertainment and reading applications, such as Kindle, Kobo or Pocketbook.

However, we do not know much about the performance of this new color screen. And, as is often the case with this kind of technological iteration, there shouldn’t be much difference with the previous version.

What will be interesting to see is the difference in color rendering between this TCL NXTPAPER tablet, the Readmoo MooInk Plus 2C and the Pocketbook Viva. Two color e-reader avaible in 2023.

Indeed, these three machines are equipped with a different color screen:

• TCL NXTPAPER 11: color screen NXTPAPER
• Readmoo MooInk Plus 2C: E Ink Kaleido 3 screen
• Pocketbook Viva: E Ink Gallery 3 screen

The match is likely to be close and it is likely that once again the E Ink Kaleido 3 or Gallery 3 screen technology will come out on top in this comparison.

The TCL NXTPAPER 11 tablet is expected to be available in May in Asia and possibly in USA and Europe for a price of around $300 (probably slightly less).

What is the Black Friday ?

Many stores offer highly promoted sales and discounts on Black Friday, and they often open early, sometimes as early as midnight or even on Thanksgiving.

The term “Black Friday” is believed to have originated in Philadelphia in the 1950s. At that time, Philadelphia was a major retail center, and the day after Thanksgiving was the busiest shopping day of the year. The crowds of shoppers and traffic congestion caused chaos in the city, and police officers began referring to the day as “Black Friday.”

The concept of Black Friday spread to other parts of the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, and it became a nationwide phenomenon in the 1980s. Today, Black Friday is the largest shopping day of the year in the United States, and it is estimated that billions of dollars are spent on Black Friday each year.
