Other eReaders
Making an article like this and keeping just 5 devices, out of the dozens on the market, would be tremendously complicated and unfair. For this reason, as a last choice, I want to comment on various options that I find interesting.
Among them are some of the devices Sony has on the market that it no longer manufactures, which it will continue to sell until its stock runs out. These are the Sony PRS-T2 and the Sony PRS-T3 , two eReaders of undeniable quality that can also be found at very good prices with a little searching online or in physical stores.
Another great option is the Amazon Kindle , which is a middle ground between the Kindle Voyage and the basic Kindle. You can find more details about this device in our review.
To close this article, we are going to add a kind of office, and if you have already decided to buy another eReader, but you have any other questions, you can ask us and we will help you make the decision. You can ask us through the space reserved for comments on this entry, in our forum or by making use of any of the social networks in which we are present.
