E-readers make it easy to read more frequently. E-books are less expensive than regular books, and using a Visa prepaid debit card allows an avid traveler and others on the go to easily purchase e-books, limiting the number of books to carry around. Here are four of the top e-readers, each with its own advantages.

Amazon Kindle

The latest generation of the Amazon Kindle has a more portable design. Amazon has put more work into making the screen easy to read. Readers can quickly turn the pages and access a multitude of newspapers, magazines, e-books and all else online with Wi-Fi access. With the ability to store over 3,000 e-books and a high-powered battery, avid readers will enjoy this lightweight device.

Barnes & Noble Nook Touch Reader

Similar to the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes & Noble Nook released in 2011 is lightweight with an easy-to-read screen. With built-in Wi-Fi that accesses the Barnes & Noble online store and a powerful battery that can last for nearly two months, readers can’t go wrong with this device. This particular device doesn’t have a Web browser, so it’s strictly for avid readers who enjoy a lightweight device with a strong battery.

Kobo E-Reader Touch Edition

With a screen that isn’t as ideal as the two other varieties, the Kobo e-reader is still a high-quality compact device that is more affordable than the other two e-readers. Use a vision prepaid card to buy this affordable e-reader, and enjoy built-in Wi-Fi and a long-lasting battery.

Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-650

This Sony e-reader is more expensive than the Amazon and Barnes & Noble varieties. However, it’s a user-friendly device that gives you access to a glare-free screen, easy downloads from e-book libraries and audio playback.
