- E-book readers are cheap. E-book readers are quite cheap when you compare them to other technological devices such as tablets. An avarage E-book reader is around 100$ nowadays while an avarage tablet or an avarage smart phone is around 500$. When you compare the advantages they will provide you (in terms of personal development of course) an e-book reader is much more effective then tablets or smart phones.
- E-book readers don't tire your eyes. You may think that you can also read books on your tablet. Well, you are right but there is one important point. Thanks to their e-ink or paper-like qualities, e-book readers don't tire your eyes while you can get a lot of damage by trying to read a book from your tablet. With an E-book reader you can enjoy reading a book while also saving you eyes.
- E-book readers have dictionaries. This is probably the best aspect of e-book readers in terms of learning English. With their integrated English-English dictionaries or with dictionaries you can add to their system such as English-Your Native Language dictionaries, you can check the meanings of the words that you don't know instantly. This feature saves a lot of time. You don't have to use your book and a dictionary and lose lots of time. These two are integrated in the system of e-book readers.
- E-book readers provide flash cards. Most E-book readers provide a perfect feature for learning English; flashcards. They record the words that you check in each book and list them for you to study later. They match definitions of the words with the usages in the book. First you can check the word in the original sentence to remember. If you can't remember, they provide you the definition of the word in a dictionary you want. This feature is perfect in terms of learning new words. By using this, you don't need to keep a vocabulary notebook. Your vocabulary notebook is prepared and ready to be used.
- E-book readers are effective in terms of accessing materials. When you use an e-book readers, you can access lots of materials for really cheap prices. You can buy books for prices like 0.50$, 1$ and you can find any book you want. At the beginning you may think like giving 100$ to a device through which you can only read a book is in vain but after you buy an E-book reader, you start saving lots of money because you no longer pay lots of money for books.
These are the general advantages of buying a Kindle to learn English. I have been using a Kindle Paperwhite myself and I'm quite happy with it. There are lots of brands with different qualities and features. Just search for the qualities you want and buy an E-book reader. You will start reading a lot and learning a lot.
