Here at Pick My Reader, we have a pretty busy mailbox.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we get asked lots of the same questions time and again, we thought we\u2019d curate them and answer everyone at the same time. We respond to all our messages personally, but thought this was a great opportunity to share some common concerns about e-readers.<\/span><\/p>\n

    1) Do e-readers have good battery life?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Absolutely! If you\u2019re accustomed to smart phones that need charging daily, often multiple times daily, you\u2019ll be blow away by Kindle\u2019s battery life. Typically marketed as returning \u201cweeks of reading\u201d, battery life is anywhere from 10 to 40 hours depending on brightness settings. You should last days, potentially weeks, before needing to give your Kindle a boost.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2) Why should I buy an e-reader instead of a tablet which does so much more?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Firstly, it\u2019s undeniable that you get much more flexibility with a tablet. These benefits can turn into distractions when you\u2019re reading, though. With a dedicated e-reader, you can focus on your novel rather than being bombarded by Facebook notifications or sidetracked by incoming email. If you\u2019re looking for a pure reading experience, tablets can\u2019t compete with e-readers.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3) What are the benefits of reading e-books rather than physical books?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    To start with, e-books are normally cheaper than physical books. Also, if you are traveling or otherwise unable to easily access books, you\u2019ll have a steady supply of e-books wherever you happen to be. Search functions make e-reading a seamless experience, especially useful for students. When you\u2019re on the move, you can take an entire library with you in your bag rather than needing to think about how many books you need for your trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

    4) Once I buy my book, will it always be available?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Absolutely. It\u2019s the gift that keeps on giving.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    5) Is it true that e-readers prevent you from sleeping?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    The jury is out. Some people feel that light-emitting e-readers can lead to lower quality sleep. Many satisfied Kindle users, on the other hand, find reading e-books in bed is perfectly fine and in no way impairs sleep.<\/span><\/h4>\n
