This week we have seen a new eReader from Amazon, a device that relieves its most basic model and that many users continue to prefer because they do not want to have the best form on the market but simply read ebooks anywhere and without having to pay large amounts of money.
But the Basic Kindle is not the only basic eReader on the market, its competitor, Kobo, long ago launched a device for the same market, the Kobo Touch 2. But the question that will haunt many of you is What eReader do I buy, the Basic Kindle or the Kobo Touch 2?
The truth is that although the hardware is similar in both devices, the Kobo Touch 2 costs $ 10 more, a difference that will surely make many choose the Basic Kindle, but really these eReaders include more elements to know.

If unfortunately we have vision problems or we simply want to listen to ebooks, it is clear that the Kindel Basic is our option because Kobo Touch 2 has nothing to help you listen to ebooks. If, on the other hand, we want an eReader with a lot of autonomy, the Kobo Touch 2 will be our best choice then has more battery than the Kindle Basic.

As for the hardware, the screen of the Basic Kindle is better than that of the Kobo Touch 2, although in the latter we can adjust the sharpness of the font, so we can make it read better.
The software and formats are important in an eReader, in Kobo Touch 2 we can link our eReader with Facebook and Pocket which allows us to get more readings and be more social, but The Basic Kindle offers Goodreads and Kindle Unlimited, two very attractive offers for many. Regarding formats, Amazon continues with its restriction policy, which only allows reading the Kindle formats, but in the Kobo Touch 2 we even have the option to read totally free comics and ebooks, without passing any software.
If we really want to read and read at a low price, the basic Kindle is the best option. But if we really take care of all the details, we do not like intrusive advertising or want to read any document, I think the best option is the Kobo Touch 2, as long as we do not opt for a higher price range, then things would change a lot. Do not you think? If that is your case, here is a selection with several models that could be considered as the best e-book.
