“Want to go on an ebook-reading marathon for two weeks?
You don’t need an iPad. All you need is a decent touch screen ebook
reader. They can last more than 10 days (not just 10 hours) and,
thanks to e-ink technology, so will your eyes.“E-ink displays, which most of these ebook readers use, consume
less power, are less susceptible to glare, are less strenuous to
the eyes, and most of all, cost much less than even the most basic
iPad.“Now, why did I have to zoom in on touchscreen versions of these
handheld devices?”
