There are really two types of ereaders available: dedicated ebook/audiobook devices and slabs more resembling small tablets with E Ink screens. In the first category, the main competition comes from Amazon’s Kindle devices and Rakuten’s Kobo readers, while ereaders in the latter group include options from Onyx Boox, PocketBook, and a few smaller companies. Smartphone and tablet devices can also serve as ereaders, but for this review, the focus was on devices with E Ink screens. After testing numerous ereaders, the top recommendation is Kobo’s latest model, the Clara Colour, offering vibrant color and a faster processor. However, situations may call for a Kindle device or Boox models for those looking for more than just reading capabilities. The choices for the best ereaders in 2024 include the Kobo Clara Colour and Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite Signature, with detailed reviews provided for each.
