It isn't a good ebook reader, though it only supports PDF and EPUB format books, not any books from public libraries. The Remarkable 2 is a dedicated digital note-taking tablet with a passionate following. It's also worth mentioning the Remarkable 2 tablet here.
The Onyx Boox Note Air 2 is our favorite E Ink tablet for pen use because of its paper-like feel and strong document format support. In general, they let you annotate on PDFs and sometimes other kinds of documents, and they let you take freehand notes on a blank page. The Kobo Elipsa, Kobo Sage, many Onyx Boox tablets, and of course the iPad line all have pen support. Some have digital pens that let you take notes directly on the screen. Ebook Readers for Taking NotesĪll ebook readers let you highlight or tag particular phrases for later reference. The Kindle Oasis and the Kobos have page turn buttons so you can easily flip between pages when your hands are too wet to use a touch screen. The Amazon Kindle Oasis, the latest Kindle Paperwhite, and the Kobo Forma, Libra 2, and Sage are all rated to withstand submersion in water to some degree. If you like to read in the bath, by the pool, or on the beach, you might want to consider buying a waterproof ebook reader. Unfortunately, we can't recommend them yet the screen technology is relatively dim, with low full-color resolution and occasional ghosting. We've tested two of them, the Onyx Boox Nova3 Color and the PocketBook InkPad Color, that show some of the exciting possibilities of color E Ink.

In 2020, we saw a breakthrough in color E Ink displays, with several readers appearing based on the E Ink Kaleido or E Ink Kaleido Plus technologies. Because of its high-quality screen and general power, though, we recommend the base-model iPad for most people trying to read rich, full-page color content. Even lower-cost tablets like the Amazon Fire 7 can browse the web, stream video from Netflix, Hulu, or other sources, play music, and run apps. Magazines and comic books look great on larger tablets. If you need to read more than books, tablets with color screens offer a bevy of other benefits. Frequent, startling screen flashes are really a thing of the past the screens flash much more subtly, much more quickly, and much less frequently.
If you haven't updated your ebook reader in many years, you'll be stunned at how much more responsive the latest E Ink readers are. The new Carta 1200 technology, used in Amazon's latest Paperwhite and Kobo's Elipsa, Libra 2, and Sage, has noticeably faster page turns and a bit better contrast than even the previous 300ppi Carta displays. E Ink also keeps improving its screens' contrast and refresh rate. The lowest-priced Kindles use 167ppi displays that look rough and jaggy compared with the 300ppi displays on most other ebook readers. Screen resolutions and quality also vary. I've found that you start to have balance issues with one-handed reading when a model goes above 7 inches. The latest Amazon Kindle Paperwhite and Kobo Libra 2 have 7-inch displays the Kobo Forma and Sage have 8-inch screens and Onyx sells larger-format readers up to 13.3 inches. Most E Ink readers were 6 inches for many years, but the panel sizes are slowly growing. In all cases, E Ink is much easier to read in bright sunlight, while color touch screens on tablets tend to wash out, and their glossy displays can show distracting reflections. On the lowest settings, you can read in the dark while your partner sleeps peacefully next to you. With each model, you can vary the intensity of the brightness from barely there to flashlight-bright. But most ebook readers now include edge lighting that lets you see in the dark. On the least expensive models, it's not backlit, so you'll need light to see the text, just as you would with a printed book. E Ink, or digital ink (often manufactured by the E Ink company), looks a lot like paper, and it's easy on your eyes when reading for long periods.
