In fact, Insider points out that consistent reading helps strengthen the connections in our brain. It can also improve our memory and concentration, reduce stress, and lower the risk of age-related cognitive conditions.
To encourage daily reading, you can use a nifty reading tablet. With a reading tablet, you can have all your books on-the-go and accessible in one device. So, if you’re on the hunt for a new reading tablet, we’ve listed some suggestions that you should check out today.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Small enough to use with one hand, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is one of today’s most popular e-book tablets. This reading tablet comes with two storage options (8GB and 32GB) and gives you access to Amazon’s e-reader bookstore. There, you can instantly load any book you buy onto your device. In addition, this device has been developed to surpass modern hardware layout challenges faced by most tablet circuit boards, such as mitigating voltage drops and optimizing the PCB layout. This makes it possible for the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite to maximize the power saving features of E ink technology. Because of this, you can use the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite for weeks on a single charge, unlike other tablets that use traditional LED and PCB technology.
Kobo Libra H20
The Kobo Libra H20 is a great e-book reader if you want one with more features than the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, but still isn’t a fully-fledged Android tablet.

What’s more, the tablet has physical page-turn buttons and has 8GB of storage that allows you to store almost 3,000 digital books. Plus, it’s waterproof and can be submerged up to a meter underwater — perfect for reading by the pool or while relaxing in a hot bath.
Apple iPad
If you plan on using your reading tablet for various types of media, then consider getting an Apple iPad. With this device, you will be able to appreciate digital comics and magazines thanks to its vibrant and colorful screen. In addition, you can also do so much more than just read with an Apple iPad, as you can find thousands of useful apps on the Apple App Store that you can use to stay productive and have fun. Because of the massive amount of features and capabilities that you get with this tablet, the Apple iPad is a significantly more expensive option than other reading tablets on the consumer market.
Nook Glowlight 3
A great alternative to Amazon’s Kindle, the Nook Glowlight 3 is an affordable option for anyone who wants to have a simple reading tablet.
