Nook touch-has
an optional glow light along with page turn buttons. It also allows for
different font types and is available in colour. However, it has no browser; it
is only in portrait mode and costs $20 for the glow light.
Ipad Mini-
comes from a much known brand, therefore a reliable source and of good quality,
there is optional wireless. It also contains Bluetooth and front and rear
cameras. However, it doesn’t have a memory card and costs a lot more than many
others and cannot be afforded by many.
Sony PRST2-has
advanced zooming settings and an android os. However, there is a loud sound
when the buttons are clicked and there is no audio support or other such
features.
Kobo Aura- it
has a high resolution screen of at least 6.8”, there is an even front light and
you can load custom fonts. But there is a sticky plastic exterior and there is
a lot of wasted blank space on the screen when reading.
Kindle 3-there
is access to free global wireless along with 3G web browsing, there is also a
text-to-speech keyboard. But the keyboard takes up a lot of reading space and
is/looks quite old.
