It is possible that to read electronic books you do not want to buy an eReader since the restrictions that it has in the use do not convince you. In this case, one of the options you have is to buy some of the current tablets that allow you to use it and that, in addition, you can do much more, such as watching videos or browsing the Internet.
For it to be possible to read eBooks with some of the current tablets, what you have to allow is the execution of applications that are compatible with this type of content. And luckily, the developments in question are not particularly demanding when it comes to hardware, so you don’t have to buy an especially expensive device to be able to enjoy reading anywhere.
By the way, another of the virtues offered by the tablets we are talking about in front of the eReaders is that, having color screens, you can enjoy an excellent form of content such as comics . And, therefore, if you are one of those who like this type of graphic literature, the ideal is to get hold of one of these teams so as not to miss any details.
What these tablets should always have
One of the things we think fits perfectly in this type of device is that they have an eight-inch screen . In this way, the function as an electronic book is merged in an excellent way, and also as equipment to perform other functions. The resolution is not something problematic, and simply that it is HD is perfectly fulfilled … but, certainly, the higher it is the better the better to get a good visual experience.
Other things to keep in mind is what has to do with memory. The RAM with being 2 GB or more , it is sure that the applications to run eBooks work without problems (such as the operating system that we believe to be recommended, which is none other than Android that allows the use of developments that are free). The storage , which must always be expandable through the use of microSD cards, is interesting that it is 16 gigabytes minimum , to be sure that you can save a multitude of electronic books without having to delete anything.
Connectivity is also something to check, since thanks to it you can carry out actions that are not possible with some electronic ink eReaders. An example is accessing online stores to buy electronic books using WiFi and with total reliability. In addition, being able to connect to the computer via USB and the use of wireless options (such as the aforementioned or Bluetooth), makes it possible to transfer content with ease.
Another thing to check when buying tablets to use as e-books is what has to do with the dimensions and weight. In the first case, the most important thing is that the thickness of the device does not exceed two centimeters so that the grip is comfortable. In what has to do with weight, it should be below 400 grams so that there is no fatigue in long reading sessions.
Some more things to consider
One of them is that the application used is very complete. And how do you know this? Well, there are two things that we believe must be fulfilled in order for the user experience to be positive: having broad compatibility with different file formats (such as ePub and PDF) and, furthermore, that it is possible to use many options such as the modifying the font size or adding bookmarks.
If all this is fulfilled, and the tablets that are purchased are accompanied with a good cover , you can be sure that you acquire a device that is worthwhile and that will cover all kinds of needs when reading electronic books.
