Ereaders
Ereaders (also known as ebook readers) are available from a number of manufacturers, and have displays that resemble ink on printed paper. They're used primarily for reading ebooks.
Note: Kindle ereaders work a little differently than other ereaders in this profile because they're made specifically for Kindle Books. If you have a Kindle ereader, please see our Kindle ereaders page instead.
