Love ‘em or loath ‘em, eReaders are here to stay. They offer unparalleled versitilty in the book reading world, and give you a whole host of features to enhance your reading experience. But are they any good? And which one should you buy?

Here at eBook-readers-reviews.net, we’ve looked at all the top eReaders to help you try and decide.

We’ve also looked at whether an eReader really does replace the good old fashioned paper book.

Why would I not just keep reading paper books?

Lets be honest. Paper books are nice. The smell, the texture, being able to flick back through them when you can't remember what exactly happened a few chapters ago... and books feel timeless. I like to be able to look at the cover, read the back occassionally, see them on the shelf, go back to it as an old friend. And if I'm going to unwrap a present, I'd rather it was an actual book rather than a gift voucher to download one. So for me, books have a definite place and I've no plans to stop reading them for good. But an eReader, particularly the Kindle, can add a new dimension to your reading range. Here's some thoughts...

Lots of books in one place
If you're travelling, the Kindle can lighten the load. With 3500 books storage capacity, its going to take some luggage to haul around even a tenth of that. But do I need 3500 books? Probably not. But I might need 5, or even 10, for a long trip. 10 books is a lot of space and weight.

Instant reading
If I see a title I like, I can download it and be reading within 60 seconds from a Kindle. Sometimes its nice to wait for a purchase, really make it that bit special. But sometimes its nice to get straight into it, no toe tapping.

Try before you buy
You can get the first couple of chapters of a book for free, to see if its your cup of tea. I can see this as a real asset to your reading experience. I've bought many a book that turned out to be not my thing. And yes, its because I fall for the carefully crafted reviews on the covers; But Kindle can make sure I don't waste my money. On its own, over a couple of years, this would pay for a Kindle for me!

Make it bigger
I'm not (yet) struggling to read print, but I know a few people who do. Kindle lets you change the font size, so that you can still read if you can't find your glasses, or if you struggle to read without the really large text. This on its own broadens your choice of books - no more waiting for the large print version. No more grappling for the magnifying glass!
