* Price: this is the average price observed at dealers. These prices can move without the site being informed. As the price changes regularly, I have introduced a price code that gives an idea of the price according to the number of “€”. The table is sorted according to the price of the reading lamps. The readers at the head of the table are the least expensive.
** Note: This is the average score of satisfaction found in the press and among users of this model of ereader. If no note is available, there is not enough recoil to note it (this is a new model).
Should I buy an ebook reader in August 2021?
Yes, it’s the time because all the book readers who were going out are now available.
So you have a choice! And, besides, there is already good business to be done on the Kindle, Kobo and Bookeen ebook readers!
Finally, the e-reader Kindle Oasis (high-end) comes out at Amazon.

Kindle touch
Kindle Touch: this book reader is an entry-level model that is available on Amazon France.
Its use is very simple thanks to the system put in place by Amazon and its price is very reasonable which makes it very good reading for beginners.
Kindle Paperwhite
The new Kindle Paperwhite was released in early November 2018 and just turns out to be excellent. It is a waterproof reading light with a beautiful, 6-inch illuminated touch screen. You can buy it on Amazon
Bookeen Diva HD
The Bookeen Diva HD is a French reader with a beautiful 6-inch screen, lighting with blue light filter, and a large amount of 16 GB storage.
It is, therefore, a good alternative to the large companies in the sector such as Kobo and Kindle.
You can buy it directly from Bookeen on their site.
Kindle Oasis
This is a surprise for me too: there is more Kobo in this guide. The fault machines that can hardly convince me, even if they are far from bad – quite the contrary.
But for those looking for a high-end, waterproof, and larger screen (7 inches here), I think the Kindle Oasis is the best on the market at the moment.
Kobo Libra H2O
A little more expensive, the Kobo Libra H2O also has a larger screen of 7 inches against 6 inches for previous readers.
This is new for fall 2019 and undoubtedly one of the best ereaders of the moment.
You can find the Kobo Libra H2O for $ 195 on Fnac.com, or on Amazon
InkPad3
Large format e-readers with screens larger than 6 inches were starting to age. Fortunately, Pocketbook / Tea has just marketed the InkPad 3 and the result is largely up to expectations on everything that it is available at Amazon.
However, for those who are looking for a high-end reader with a larger screen (7.8 inches here), I think the InkPad 3 is the best on the market at the moment.
How to choose your Ereader?
It is quite simple to choose your Ereader.
Choose the ereader screen:
Cybook Odyssey Frontlight HD, Inkpad 3, Bookeen Saga: a 7.8-inch reader in the middle of two 6 inch ones
The standard e-reader screen size is 6 inches, but today there are 7 inch, 7.8 inch, and even 10-inch models for some professional e-reader models.
Today, all e-readers use the same electronic ink technology. The only difference comes mainly from the size.
So this is an important parameter. If you want a screen larger than 6 inches, you will have less choice. That’s why I advise you to look at the side of the Kobo Libra H2O (7 inches) or InkPad 3 (7.8 inches).
Choose the options for your Ereader
The ereaders all have a touch screen that simplifies the use and ergonomics of the device.
The ereaders also offer to light.
On the other hand, there are some differences: some ereaders offer lighting with an adjustment of the color temperature to filter blue light (see at Kobo and Vivlio or the high-end Kindle Oasis at Amazon).
Others offer a text-to-speech feature (InkPad 3 and Touch HD Plus).
If you plan to take your e-reader everywhere, I also advise you to choose a waterproof model that will protect your e-reader from water, snow, sand, and dust.
Some also have an extension port to add a micro-SD card to increase the storage capacity of the ereader (if you only plan to read books like novels, this should not be a criterion, however).
Obviously, all these options including a little increase in the price of the ereader.
Choose the brand of your reader: Kindle or Kobo?
Choosing the make of the reader means choosing which file formats will be supported by the reader:
All e-reader brands support roughly the same ebook file formats except that Kindle cannot read EPUB and other brands cannot read AZW.
As the EPUB format and Kindle e-readers are popular, we can still make the two coexist in this way:
1) Buy the eReader on Amazon, but take care to buy a large part of your ebooks on online stores that offer editions in EPUB format (standard in digital books) and without DRM.
2) You will then have EPUB ebooks that you can transfer to your reader with the Caliber software (which takes care of converting file formats for you).
3) So, if in the future you have to change your e-reader and you do not take an e-reader from Amazon, your ebooks will be compatible with your Kindle e-reader using software such as Caliber.
Why buy an ereader? What is an ereader?
Ereaders are devices that allow you to read books on a screen with electronic ink that does not tire your eyes.
We can, therefore, find good ergonomics and reading comfort similar to those obtained with a paper book. Unlike conventional screens, you can read in full sun without a problem.
The reading lights have a large storage capacity which allows them to carry hundreds of books. They are now all touch screen and most (if not 100% of the models) have built-in lighting for reading in the dark.

A little reminder about Kindle ereaders & Deals
Important: Amazon Kindle Readers are technically advanced. Unfortunately to fully enjoy it, buy on Amazon. They are therefore not open to other shops and ebooks purchased on Amazon are compatible only with Kindle ereaders.
My advice if you want to buy a Kindle ereader: buy the reader on Amazon, but be careful to buy a large part of your ebooks on online shops that offer editions in EPUB format (standard in the digital book) and without DRM.
So if in the future you need to change the ebook reader and you do not take it from Amazon, your ebooks will be compatible with your next reader in condition after using a software like Calibre.

If you want to check about our reviews for the other ereaders, here are some that will interest you …
Cybook Muse Light: an entry-level e-reader at a price of £ 89 which features simple but sufficient specifications: a 6-inch touchscreen, 4 GB storage, and lighting (+ Touchscreen and physical buttons). A good choice to get a digital ebook reader for an inexpensive price. See the full article here.
Kobo Aura One is the star of the new year 2016. With its large 7.8-inch screen, waterproof case, touch screen, and illuminated, it has everything to please. Only its price is a little high: 229 £.
The Kobo Aura 2 is a bit disappointing but it deserves to offer a slightly cheaper alternative in the family of 6-inch (light + tactile), ebook readers. The problem comes from its screen which is less good than the competition.
The new Kindle was available in the month of July 2016. It is lighter, available in white, and has better capacity. In short, it is a very good reader of entry-level. ( Check Here)
The Kindle Oasis has really talked a lot about it in recent weeks. We should confess that with its prohibitive tariff – but some qualities anyway – it has something to surprise.
