  • if anyone is looking for their first E-reader, look for a $30 used one on ebay or someplace. You’re not going to regret it. E-readers are just trying to replicate the features of a book, which is not complicated technology. Everything else manufacturers do to increase the price involves inventing needs. you wont miss a color adjustable backlight, you can read with a light. you don’t need 50gb of storage when a book is 3mb and calibre manages your library. a 600 DPI resolution makes text crisper, but not substantially more readable than 167 DPI, since eInk dots innately have anti-aliasing properties that makes them look higher resolution than the specs suggest. a dictionary pop-up when you highlight words is also extra, but my nook touch had that 10 years ago, and it cost $30 back then too. A lot of people enjoy their E-readers most of all because of their simplicity and separation from other distractions, so it stands to reason, lots of people might be happier with a less featured device.
