On the display end, Foxit handles normal and password protected PDFs, with support for document and user bookmarks. Annotation options let you highlight, underline or strike through text. You also can add sticky notes text boxes, or even draw freehand on the document. Text reflow allows you to read comfortably even on a small smartphone screen.
Cloud support lets you upload and download PDFs from popular storage providers. Foxit has also introduced a new ConnectedPDF feature for collaborative work, annotations, comments and edits on a team's files. But the mobile app is also designed to offer a variety of power user features for anyone looking to spend on premium subscriptions.
Xodo PDF Reader might not have the big name recall of Acrobat Reader or Foxit, but it still offers a nice multi-platform reader app that includes a variety of reading modes along with organization and cloud storage tools. You also get productivity extras like annotations and electronic signatures. That said, the mobile reader would be improved with a better design and layout, as features like the menu bars can use up a large amount of screen space and obscure pages, making Xodo somewhat clunky to use.
What happens when you've got a number of documents on your phone that you want to turn into a single PDF? The only notable difference with the CP1 is the smaller size. The most impressive thing about the Sony DPT-CP1 is how thin and light it feels in your hand, which only weighs grams.
So we recommend you buy the Onyx Boox — Onyx offers several large screen ebook readers, including the And their Android OS is open to install apps, which does not lock you into a closed ecosystem like the Sony Digital Paper. You have complete freedom to download and install any apps you want and customize tons of UI features. The Onyx Boox Note is the best e-reader and digital note taking device the company has ever made.
It has a There is no headphone jack, so if you want to use headphones or a speaker it has to be wireless. The Its built-in Wi-Fi module allows you to use the device for full Internet surfing. The panel is comprised of Electromagnetic WACOM and a capacitive layer, which means you can use the accompanied stylus or use your fingers to interact with the screen or flip pages.
Like the Note, it has a quadcore 1. Although it is a great investment, it comes with a premium price tag. Besides, the 7-inch screen can also be quite bulky if you are used to traveling light. A top of the line e-reader, this waterproof Kindle Oasis features a sharp and bright HD display with automatic lighting adjustments.
Thanks to the ergonomic design and navigation buttons, it is optimized for one-handed reading. It is more expensive than other Kindles, but it is the most advanced e-reader that makes reading a treat. Featuring a slimmer and sleeker design, Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the perfect package of style, value, and functionality. Using a 6-inch backlit display with pixels per inch, delivers crisp and readable text under any light conditions.
It also uses a flush front with bevels and a glare-free screen to minimize eye strain. Paperwhite tries to preserve the more paper-like nature of E Ink display because the light guide shines the light inward toward the screen rather than outward. With an IPX8 waterproof design, you can use your Kindle anywhere you like without worrying about water damage.
For audiobook lovers, this e-reader offers a seamless e-book to audiobook transition that allows you to listen to audiobooks without needing to install additional apps.
Besides that, you can also easily buy new titles or transfer digital books to your Kindle via Bluetooth and WiFi. It has a 6-week battery capacity but tends to diminish very quickly if you keep these features turned on. Your eBook collection can contain to eBook titles on the 8GB version, while the 32GB version can hold beefier audio files. Besides a storage capacity upgrade, this e-reader also allows you to use dark mode, set up individual reading profiles, and reading presets.
To accommodate the sleeker and slimmer design, this Kindle eBook reader omitted the beloved navigation button. The waterproof Amazon Kindle Paperwhite delivers tons of value with its upgraded storage space, larger battery, and sharper display. Although the page-turning button is omitted, it compensates with its intuitive and easy-to-use interface. With Bluetooth and WiFi connection, this e-reader provides both an affordable and comfortable reading experience to avid readers.
Clara HD is the latest release in a value eBook reader line up from Kobo devices. The eReader is designed to be a direct competitor to a highly successful Amazon alternative, Kindle Paperwhite. The front of the e-reader features a sharp six-inch touch screen that offers a pixels per inch resolution.
At the back, Kobo Clara HD has a unique textured grip that feels nice in the hand and improves grip and comfort allowing you to hold it with your fingertips. The eReader is very comfortable to hold over long periods of time due to its ergonomic and lightweight design. Despite being a budget eReader, it features an impressive three to four weeks of battery capacity given an hour a day usage.
The smart technology allows you to adjust the color warmth setting to suit your liking and environment.
You can pick a color tone between a standard blue and a softer yellow backlight. In addition, the backlight can dynamically change color based on the time of day and the amount of light available. Borrowing eBooks from your local library has also been made easier with the Overdrive integration. You can see the contents of the eBook library on your device so you are able to borrow most books from your reading lists by virtually downloading them.
Kobo Clara HD is the lightest eReader in our review. Despite being a value eReader, it comes with all the important features. The adaptive LCD screen backlight is smart and can automatically adjust the display color temperature based on the environment to ensure the least amount of strain is put on your eyes.
Unlike its older sibling — Nook GlowLight Plus, the new version looks and feels basic, which actually happens to play to its advantage. It does not have an aluminum body, glass screen or water resistance rating, but comes with a stunning level of practicality for indoor reading.
The screen features a PPI resolution providing a crisp display with a real paperback book feel. The touch screen is complemented by an advanced backlight system which has 7 white and 6 yellow LED lights. LEDs allow the e-reader to change the tone from cool white to warm orange in order to make your night reading experience more pleasant. The tone adjustment can be done manually or you could let the eReader seamlessly adjust it for you.
It does not have an ambient light sensor to control the tone level, as it uses the timezones and time of the day instead. The thick bezel has actually allowed the placement of two physical page-turning buttons on each side.
Tapping the buttons flips the pages forward or backward, whereas double tapping flips the whole chapter. We have actually liked those buttons so much, that despite it being such a simple feature — it made all the difference for us. On the down side, the PDF reading experience is mediocre and inconsistent. The e-reader takes too long to respond to zoom commands or sometimes does not even register them.
If you are planning to extensively use PDF files, there are better options from Kobo to choose from. Overall, the rubbery coating, lightweight design and thick bezel with physical buttons have created an exceptional level of comfort and ergonomics.
It feels easy and comfortable to use, especially at night. The comfort light feature is the icing on the cake, which makes the Nook Glowlight 3 one of the best value eBook readers for home use we have ever reviewed. Kobo Forma is a premium reader that was specifically designed for ravenous booklovers who spend more time reading eBooks than others. The asymmetrical design, similar to Kindle Oasis, puts page-turn buttons on the right side of the device.
Kobo eReaders are known for being innovative as they were the first to make eReaders waterproof, pioneered the backlight color temperature adjustment system, and support almost all eBook formats you can think of. The result is an impressive pixel density with the best screen size and weight ratio we have seen in eBook readers. The display uses both Carta HD and Mobius technology which is not common.
Utilizing both technologies allowed the eReader to deliver extremely crisp image quality, yet remain lightweight at grams and thin at 0. Most eReaders allow users to control the text format by using presets that change line spacing, font sizes, and margins. This time, Kobo takes the text format customization to a whole new level as each parameter can be fine-tuned using individual sliders. In addition, the CBR and CBZ file format support is great and allows manga, graphic novels, and comic books to be displayed cleanly and well-formatted.
Lastly, the oversized eReader features a unique Overdrive integration and Pocket support. It allows users to browse local public libraries and make them available on the eReader. Pocket, however, allows website and blog content to be pushed onto the eReader.
Kobo Forma has all the features you can expect a premium eReader to have. It is waterproof, extremely light, has an amazingly clear display and allows you to customize the settings to get the best reading experience like no other eReader on the market. If you consume lots of graphic content, read in low or no light conditions, Kobo Forma is the reader to buy.
It does come with a hefty price tag, but for some of us, it will be worth every penny. Based on the basic Kindle, Amazon Kindle Kids Edition provides a safe and distraction-free reading environment for your little bookworms. It features a 6-inch screen with PPI and weighs about 10 ounces — the perfect dimension for kids to tote around.

You can also use the pin to access the standard Kindle software and adult content. The battery lasts about 4 hours on a single charge. For your purposes, the best screen size would be x mm, which is the same as A4 paper.

Their The reMarkable PDF reader is really targeted at the digital writing market, rather than the digital reading market, though most serious e-readers support pens for annotations and signatures.
Instead, consider the Onyx Boox range, which includes seven e-readers with larger screens. The As you know, reducing the size of PDF images makes them harder to read.
