Reading enthusiasts honored on Mother’s Day 2022
So yes, the reader might not be to everyone’s taste as one might be afraid of losing the feeling of turning the pages of a good old big paper book.
So yes, you will have to do without the beautifully bound books that we love to display in a library at home, but certain models of readers manage to recreate an experience very close to that of a physical book.
In the e-reader market, there are two main e-reader brands that share the front stage: Kobo and Kindle.
If Kobo is a Rakuten operated brand, it is possible to directly link its readers to its Fnac account. Thus, your account will automatically sync with your e-book purchases without having to search the menu to download your books.
The Kindle, meanwhile, comes to us from the e-commerce giant Amazon and is priced as the most affordable on the market. However, Kindle readers don’t support the epub format, which forces us to use an online converter if you buy a book from Fnac, for example.
The Kindle Paperwhite
The device, with its 8GB of storage, can store up to several thousand tracks that you can take anywhere! Especially since the reader’s battery life is around 70 days: you don’t have to worry about the charge level of your device!
The Kindle Paperwhite is ideal for taking to the court or poolside as it’s waterproof thanks to its IPX8 certification.
While this reader ”’ supports the vast majority of eBook formats on the market, it does not read the epub format and this is the only major flaw of this device. And if you have books in epub format, you can still read them but you need to convert them first.
You can opt for the ad-free version of the Kindle Paperwhite for $139 or opt for the convenience of the ad-free version for $149.

Kindle Oasis
Among the slightly more premium models here is the waterproof Kindle Oasis, the reader with the largest screen in the Kindle line.
This screen is adjustable thanks to the gyroscope, measures 7 inches, with a resolution of 300 dpi, an adjustable anti-blue light filter and a night mode. Although tactile, the reader also offers 2 buttons to turn pages depending on your preference.
Kindle Oasis is available with 8GB or 32GB of storage, not expandable with microSD, and reads converted AZW3, AZW, TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, native PRC, HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP formats.
Its autonomy reaches 6 weeks and the reader is charged via micro USB. Note that there is not only OpenDyslexic, but also a setting for the visually impaired. A top product from Amazon, waterproof and large format.
The Kindle Oasis is available for $249 for the 8GB version and $279 for the 32GB version.

The blanket Nia
The autonomy of e-readers is generally very important for our greatest satisfaction and the Kobo Nia is not lacking.
With its 1000 mAh battery, you can expect almost 2 weeks of reading time, of course depending on the options activated.
Finally, you can take advantage of the Kobo+ subscription, which allows you to download as many titles from the catalog as you want, starting from $9.99 per month. But beware, the books will be automatically deleted after the end of the service.
Small bonus with purchase, you can try Kobo+ for 14 days.
At $99, the Kobo Nia is a ridiculous price considering that backlit models are generally significantly more expensive.

The Kobo Clara
With the Clara HD Reader, you’re guaranteed to be able to take your entire library with you without breaking your back. But it is also the opportunity to immerse yourself in your favorite books under all circumstances.
With its 8 GB of memory, the Clara HD e-reader can transport almost 6,000 works in dematerialized format. That means you don’t have to wait until the end of a book to get home to learn the rest of the story.
In addition, switching to a Kobo Clara HD-class reader also means the ability to customize the characters to your liking. And it is also the fact of being able to read under all circumstances.
And with ComfortLight PRO technology, you can keep reading in any situation. In addition, the 6-inch screen and 300 dpi resolution will give you plenty of time to enjoy your favorite prose. Small bonus: the screen is tactile and has a paper-like feel.
Barely more expensive than the Kobo Nia, the Kobo Clara is currently listed on Fnac for $109.

The Kobo Scale 2
The Kobo is an e-reader that allows you to download books and read them on a black and white screen. Unlike a smartphone, the size of the screen is larger and more suitable, the water resistance and the very good grip of this Libra 2 with the wider edge on one side to grab it and switch sides (via the 2 buttons) easily.
On the screen side, it keeps the same size compared to the previous version, with a 7-inch diagonal panel.
Electric Ink technology offers comfort and a resolution of 1264 x 1680 pixels. It is enough not to see them while reading. We have an adjustable color filter to give the screen a more or less yellow touch so as not to strain our eyes when reading at night.
The functions are numerous with the choice of display in header and footer, font size, line spacing, dark mode, brightness …
The new feature of this model is the ability to play audiobooks downloaded only through the Kobo store. This is good news, but still we cannot play external files or even music.
The Kobo Libra 2 belongs to the range of high-end e-readers and is available from Fnac for $189.
