Find the best e-book readers below.

Why you should buy this: You already have a library of Kindle e-books, use your e-book reader for audiobooks, or just love the WhisperSync feature.

Who it’s for: The hardcore reader who’s heavily invested in the Amazon ecosystem.

Why we picked Amazon’s Kindle Oasis:

Amazon’s latest Kindle Oasis is a minor revision over the 2017 model. It’s currently the best Kindle available. So what makes it such a great device? Featuring a beautiful 7-inch display, a pixel density of 300 pixels per inch, and well-placed navigation buttons, the Kindle Oasis is perfectly designed for long hours of reading.

Amazon claims the Kindle Oasis can last up to six weeks on a single charge, though you’ll likely need to plug it in after a week or two of use (depending on your settings). There are built-in ambient light sensors, which adapt to your surroundings so that you don’t have to constantly adjust the screen. e-books are pretty lightweight, so internal storage isn’t generally as important for an e-book reader as it is for a tablet or smartphone. The Kindle Oasis offers 8GB of storage, which is enough for thousands of books, but there’s a 32GB option that may be preferable for those that enjoy listening to audiobooks from Audible via Bluetooth earbuds. It’s possible to get library books on your Kindle, too. Overdrive has a simple interface that lets you send e-books to your Kindle over the internet. Highlight passages from your favorite books and share them on social media, look up the meaning of words, and get context for fictional and non-fictional characters, places, settings, and more through a feature called X-Ray.

As far as new features go, the Kindle Oasis has a color-adjustable front light. The screen’s color tone can shift to warmer hues at night, making it easier on the eyes and protecting you from blue light. There’s also IPX8 water resistance, which means it’s protected against immersion in up to 6.5 feet of freshwater.

Sadly, it still only accepts select e-book formats — you can read EPUB files, but it requires some manual work. Regardless, it’s our favorite Kindle available.

Why we love it:

Why you should buy this: You have a lot of e-books, but you want a cheaper Kindle.

Who it’s for: The person who’s looking for an inexpensive e-book reader with all the bells and whistles.

Why we picked the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite:

The Kindle Paperwhite got a face-lift recently. While it has long been one of our favorite e-book readers, some minor updates make it an even better option for the average reader.

First off, the Kindle Paperwhite offers a beautiful high-resolution display with a 300-pixel-per-inch pixel density — the same as its predecessor. The raised bezel has been replaced with one that is flush with the display. The change makes the new Paperwhite a little more sleek, and ever-so-slightly thinner. This 6-inch e-book reader is light and easy to hold with one hand while reading. There aren’t any page turn buttons, sadly, but if you prefer using the touchscreen instead, you won’t be bothered.

There are also a few new features that make the Paperwhite even more attractive. It has an IPX8 rating, meaning you can use it in the pool or tub without worry. There’s also Bluetooth connectivity, meaning you can pair headphones with the Kindle and listen to your favorite Audible titles. The Kindle Paperwhite is available in 8GB and 32GB storage configurations. As far as battery life goes, the Paperwhite will last for several weeks on a single charge.

While the Paperwhite’s design may be familiar it’s still the best budget e-book reader out there.

Why we love it:

Why you should buy this: You want a waterproof e-book reader that supports more e-book formats.

Who it’s for: Readers who buy books, use EPUB e-books, borrow e-books from the library, or like to read near water.

Why we picked the Kobo Libra H2O:

If you’re looking for an e-book reader that can access a larger library, then settle down with the Kobo Libra H2O. Kobo’s e-book reader has a sizable 7-inch E Ink display with a 300-pixels-per-inch (PPI) resolution, so your books will always look crisp and natural. Since e-book reader displays cast blue light, which can keep you awake at night, Kobo’s ComfortLight Pro helps to reduce blue-light exposure. When it’s all the way up, the display takes on a warm, yellow hue that minimizes the impact of blue light when you’re reading at night.

The Libra H2O is also fully waterproof, thanks to an IPX8 rating. That means you can read in the bath or at the beach without worrying about your investment. Depending on your reading preferences, you should only need to recharge its battery every few weeks; it may even last as long as a month between charges. The Kobo Libra H2O can handle a large number of e-book formats, so you can download books from Google Play, your public library, or elsewhere. OverDrive library borrowing is built right into the Kobo store, so getting library books on your e-book reader has never been easier. You can add thousands of books to the Libra H2O, too, thanks to an impressive 8GB of storage.

You will still prefer the Kindle Oasis if you’re deeply embedded in Amazon’s Kindle e-book system or enjoy listening to audiobooks. But if you’re not, the Kobo Libra H2O could be a better e-book reader for you. It’s cheaper, stifles blue light, supports more e-book formats, and has built-in borrowing from your public library.

Why you should buy this: Hours of distraction free reading for kids

Who it’s for: For kids who like to read and don’t want to be distracted by other features that come on a traditional tablet, like games.

Why we picked the Kindle Kids Edition:

Let your little one experience the joy of reading for themselves with the Kindle Kids Edition. This e-reader sets itself apart from a tablet since its purpose is primarily for reading which means it doesn’t have games, ads, or videos that can cause distractions. Instead, it offers a black and white glare-free display, weeks of battery life, and access to over a thousand kid-friendly titles. And with audible, kids can opt to listen to their favorite stories.

Why we love it:

One of the most annoying things about ebooks is that there are many file types, and certain ebook readers don’t support certain formats. Here’s a breakdown of which ebook readers support which formats.

HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, EPUB and BMP files are only supported through conversion. Amazon has a free downloadable software called Kindle Previewer, which you can use to upload and convert these files into a readable format on your Kindle. You’ll need to manually plug the Kindle into a computer to transfer them.

Kindle files and Apple iBooks are not supported, but Kobo supports the most file formats natively of any ebook reader.

Though you may enjoy the feel of a new book in your hands, and the act of turning a page, sometimes it’s more practical, and more fun, to have an e-book reader. With multiple storage options, it is almost limitless how many books you can carry with you, so you don’t have to decide what you’re in the mood to read. With waterproof options it’s stress free to read at the beach or the pool, and with other features like high resolution displays, and anti-glare screens, you can read outdoors or long into the night. Choose an e-reader for you and for the kids from these carefully chosen options.
