There are numerous eBook readers on the market today. The most popular eBook readers are the Kindle eReaders from Amazon and the Nook eReaders from Barnes & Noble. Including the popular Nook and Kindle book readers there are also numerous other options including eReaders from Sony as well as other companies. You also have the options of reading eBooks on your Android or iPhone smart phone. With all of the different options choosing an eReader can be overwhelming. One of the best way to narrow down your choices is to decide what is the best size screen for your personally.

Reading eBooks on your smart phone is extremely easy to do. The Amazon Kindle app for smart phones is an extremely popular app that makes reading eBooks very easy as you always have your phone with you. The problem with reading eBooks on your smart phone is that the screen size is so small it can make reading extremely hard to do. For this reason most people who choose an eReader will go to a dedicated option such as an Amazon Kindle or Barnes & Noble Nook.

What about iPads and Tablets?

The iPad and similar tablets can make the screen easier to see because of the larger size, however eye strain can occur if you read for long er periods of time. The e-ink display that comes with Kindles and Nooks make reading extremely easy because it replicates the same as if you were reading a traditional paper printed book.

The iPad, the Kindle Fire, and the Barnes & Noble Nook Color and Nook Tablet are popular eBook readers because people want the color screen so they can view magazines, apps, and watch movies. These are good options but for a dedicated reader who wants an eReader to duplicate the experience of reading a traditional paper bound book the best options will be the Kindle Touch and the Nook Simple Touch

What is the best screen size for an eReader?

The best screen size for your eReader will be the 6 inch screen size that is on the Nook Simple Touch and the Kindle. The 6 inch E-Ink display on these models makes reading books easy with less eye strain then you experience when surfing the Internet.

If you are looking to read color magazines then look at a full color 1024×768 tablet or the Kindle Fire and Kindle Nook Tablet. For people who simply want to read mainly books then a 6 inch screen on the Barnes & Noble Nook reader and the Kindle Touch will be far more enjoyable than any other eReader on the market.
