Help me decide!

ianp82 · 11-19-2016, 11:28 AM

Hello,

I am new to the e-reader scene and hoping you all can help point me in the right direction. Here are my goals:

1. I am only interested in an e-reader to read the NY Times (and maybe some other magazine or newspaper).

Which is the best e-reader to buy for that purpose?

Thanks!

Do you have a tablet? If you mainly want to read newspapers and magazines, I'd stick to a tablet and something like the Texture app and NY Times app.

A tablet tends to do much better with magazine layouts (and color) than an e-ink reader would.

I agree that you would be better with a tablet for reading newspspers.

Agreed. This is something a tablet is far better for.

Interesting, I hadn't even thought of that. I will check some out now. Thanks!

I can highly recommend the Lenovo Tab 2 A10 for reading. A HD 10" screen at a can't be beat price point. I read all my comics and other PDFs on there, and I've used PressReader on it for reading newspapers.

I'll second that. I'm typing this comment on my Lenovo Tab 2 A10.

Cheap tablet, beautiful screen.
