Chinese eReaders
Finally, to wrap up this list, we'd like to make an interesting recommendation. If you don't want to spend too much money on an eReader, you can always turn to the Chinese online stores, which are increasingly common when buying mobile devices.
Many of them increasingly offer electronic books, which tend to have very low prices, although do not expect too much from them as they will allow you to read and little else. They are not well known brands and you will always have the risk that if you have a problem you will not be able to complain to anyone or even return the product.
Our recommendation is that you look for very specific things in these Chinese stores, for example eReaders of very small sizes, and do not buy a device with a too high price and that is that for 79 euros you have the basic Kindle available or what is the same a book Electronic of enormous quality and sold by Amazon, that in case of any problem that may arise, you have the best guaranteed solution.
