Stop Press: Kindle E-Readers are being offered at huge discounts. Please click on image for latest offers.
To be sure, there are many reasons to use an ereader including having access to books as soon as they come out. This is more so when certain books which are really good but are available only in electronic media. Let us have a look at some other reasons.

Essentially, it is because they offer many benefits and a
great deal of convenience. The devices allow you to carry not just a few books
and other reading material but thousands of it. To top it all, you can
read them whenever and almost wherever you want. By the way, when it comes to ereaders, Kindle is the pioneer and acknowledged leader of the pack.
What are some of the other things that you can do with ereaders?
For a start, you can flip through the pages of a book while easily finding pictures, charts and maps. Not only that. You can view notes and highlights from different parts of a book. Page Flip also automatically saves the page you are on. It pins the page to the side of the screen. This means that you do not have to worry about losing your place. Better than a bookmark? You bet!
What else do you get with the Kindle ereaders? How about sharp and dark text that reads like the printed page? Say goodbye to blurry text and eye strain. Not done yet. You can also export notes that you have highlighted from a book to your email. You can then easily refer to them. What else? You can receive your notes in trusty old printable PHD format and move it as you please even opening them in a spreadsheet app of your choice.
The devices are ideal for one-handed reading due to their being thin, extra
light and comfortable to hold. In fact, the new and improved models are stated
to be 11% thinner and 16% lighter as compared to the earlier versions. What this means is that while using the device you can do other things. It allows you to multitask. Further, while commuting to and from work, you can read while standing and holding on to the rails or sitting down.
As the device has a front-lit screen, you can read it anytime. Most importantly, you don't have to lose sleep using the ereader. Why? Latest studies reveal that blue light from backlit screens interferes with the body's production of melatonin. Melatonin helps you to fall asleep. This would explain why it has been suggested that you do not spend too much time on your screens generally and especially just before you go to bed. It's a good thing that with the ereader, not only can you read before going off to sleep, you can also read in direct sunlight. Good for the beach as the device eliminates glare in bright sunlight in any setting.
In terms of reading time, you can now read for weeks instead of hours. You can do this on a single charge due to the the improved and longer lasting batteries. Is that all? Certainly not.

Sample Customer Reviews:
1. Kindle E-reader
“I love my Kindle Fire HD 8, however it can be tiring on the eyes for reading any length of time. I decided to purchase this during the Black Friday sales and was not disappointed. The screen is sharp and looks just like paper, the more light hits the screen, the better it looks. This definitely makes me not regret all the book purchases I have made through Amazon now that I can read them on here. The size is perfect and can be held with one hand easily. Wish I would have purchased this sooner, however I am glad I waited for it to go on sale. If you enjoy reading, even in the slightest, don't hesitate to pick one of these up. You won't be disappointed.”
2. Kindle Paperwhite
"Let me preface this by saving that this is my review on Amazon evahhh! I'm a Prime Member and their customer service is second to none. NOW on to the Kindle Paperwhite... I have an iPad Air and LOVE it. I downloaded a ton books over the years and I rarely ended up reading them. Why? Size in my hands and the glare when reading outside. I took a chance and got the Kindle. Guess what? I'm reading all the time! I read at the beach. I read on the throne (TMI), and I even started reading when I go to bed (again after many years). It takes a little getting used to regarding the navigation of the device but the helpful digital how-to booklet included got me on my way quickly. Honestly I really love this device. It's the perfect size in my hand, zero glare, lightweight but sturdy, great battery life, yada, yada, yada. I miss the colors of the iPad but there's also something old school and soulful having it be in black and white. I'll call it Digital Nostalgia, (I just made that up). I read some reviews about the screen being beige, etc. Mine has none of that. It works great and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend."
3. Kindle Voyage
“My Paperwhite was good to begin with, but the Voyage is even better. It's a noticeable difference between my Paperwhite and a HUGE difference between my Other eReader (yes, I own 2 different eReaders). It's got such crisp, clean letters, like an actual book. The difference was so noticeable that it is difficult to go from the Voyage to my Other eReader (I'll have to upgrade my Other ereader too) & I retired my Paperwhite! If you read a lot, as well as many books at a time, the Voyage is the best Kindle choice between the Paperwhite and the Voyage! It's the closest to a real book but w/o the weight & bulk! The device itself is the right size and weight. It fits in my small hip bag & I never leave home without it! I can read it any light, indoor or outdoor, day or night! The backlight spreads out so evenly, that it's practically unnoticeable. I like that it can be set to auto or manual. That the light will turn on with the device, not have to be turned on separately, unlike other eReader I own. I find that it's the eReader I prefer to read with! Especially when I prefer real books any day but sometimes that's just not feasible!”
4. Kindle Oasis
“I have a Paperwhite and a Voyage and I love them both. When the 2016 Oasis was introduced, I studied it, but the mandatory cover and several reviews made me wait. When I saw that a New Oasis was being released this month, I read the specs and knew I had to have it. The Audible capability wasn’t important to me; I prefer to listen on my phone. Waterproof isn’t a big deal for me either, since I don’t read near water; but it’s nice knowing that a little rain won’t kill it. So I pre-ordered the 32gb...more storage, more books! I selected wi-fi only; if I’m going to be away from home, I download more books than I can possibly read in one trip. I also selected “with special offers”; I’ll remove it later if it starts to annoy me. I did not purchase a cover, because I usually remove them and they end up in the bottom of a drawer. I did purchase a no-glare screen protector, which I installed as soon I opened the box…”
5. Kindle for Kids
"This has been one of the best gift purchases I have made for my two oldest kids who are avid readers. I chose the Kindle for kids over the Fire because I wanted these devices to be JUST for reading. My kids use these constantly. They have long battery life and we are able to download free eBooks from the library (which is incredibly convenient and saves us a ton of money!). Other reviewers are mentioning this is not compatible with kids' books...I think they mean more picture books. For kids reading chapter books this is absolutely a GREAT buy and will help fuel your kids' reading fire. I recommend this again and again, such a great gift!"
