Today, the choice of gadgets is so great that it is not surprising to get confused when choosing electronics and spend money in vain. Let's think about what to choose - a reader or a tablet, so as not to be disappointed in the purchase.
If you love to read, then you probably thought about the electronic version of the book. And, I must say, changing paper books and magazines to electronic is the right choice, because from the moment you buy a gadget for reading in your bag, you will have a whole library.
An e-book is perfect for you if having a compact reading device is important to you.
It should be remembered that:
- Most readers do not have additional screen backlighting, which means that such a book cannot be read in the dark (although there are models with backlighting).
- It is impossible to install third-party software (games, etc.) on many models of readers.
- The screen of most models of readers is monochrome (e-ink technology allows you not to recharge the device for a long time).
- In order to upload files to the reader, you will have to connect it to the computer with a special cable, although more and more models of e-books support work via Wi-Fi.
- The price of the reader is not less than that of the tablet.
The fact is that e-books were developed in such a way as to make the reading process as comfortable as possible for human eyes. The e-ink e-book screen uses battery power very economically. Of course, there are readers with the ability to install the game, go online, however, since e-books are "sharpened" precisely for comfortable reading, the convenience of browsing sites or playing the game is not great.
A tablet is for you if you need a multifunctional device that you need to carry with you. The tablet allows almost everything that can be done on a regular computer - search for information on the Internet, work with documents of various types, use e-mail and instant messengers, watch videos and listen to music, take and view photos. However, these features, oddly enough, can interfere with reading, because the eyes get tired while reading from the tablet screen much more often than when using an e-reader, and the battery runs out much faster.
