Books are heavy. If you travel with 5 books, your back will hate you. Enter the E-Reader. 1,000 books in 200 grams.
Here are the Top 5 E-Readers for People Who Love to Travel.
1. Kindle Paperwhite (The Best All-Around)
It is waterproof. It has a warm light (good for sleep). The battery lasts 10 weeks. It is the perfect travel companion.
2. Kobo Libra 2 (The Kindle Alternative)
If you hate Amazon, get a Kobo. It supports more file formats (EPUB) and integrates with OverDrive (library books). It has physical page-turn buttons, which are satisfying.
3. Boox Palma (The Phone Sized One)
It looks like a smartphone, but it has an E-Ink screen. It fits in your pocket. It runs Android, so you can install apps like Spotify or Readwise. It is expensive, but incredibly portable.
Kiran’s Take: The “Disconnect” Device
You can read books on an iPad. But an iPad has notifications. An iPad has Email.
An E-Reader does one thing: Books. It is a sanctuary. When I read on my Kindle, I am offline. That mental break is worth the $140.
Conclusion
Readers are leaders. Carry a library in your pocket.
