If the issue is "what single EBR should I buy if I can only buy one?" then I think you should ask some physically oriented questions. This is because I think most people would be happiest with the EBR that they are actually most likely to have around to read when they want to be reading.

So I think that the first question you should ask is "what is the smallest EBR that I am comfortable with." The reason is that this EBR will probably maximize your reading opportunities, because the smaller the EBR, the more likely you will have it with you to read.

The second question you should ask is "what is the largest EBR that I will have with me in all the circumstances I would have the smaller EBR with me?" The reason is that if there is a larger EBR that you will have every time you have the smaller EBR, you will find the larger EBR easier to read.

The third question is "what is the heaviest EBR I can hold for extended periods of time without using something to prop my arm or the EBR up?" This is because you will reduce your use of an EBR that is too heavy.

This should narrow down your choices to the ones that you are most likely to have the maximum opportunity to actually read on, and still be comfortable reading on it.

Once you have these physical issues out of the way, then you can address the other issues people have mentioned on this & so many other threads.
