Bookworms may still cherish the feel of leafing through pages, the whiff of new-book smell, and stacking their shelves with beloved tomes, but nothing beats an e-reader for convenience.

You can bring your entire library on vacation without an extra suitcase. If you're working through a 1,349-page novel such as Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy, your wrists will thank you. And unlike a phone, your e-reader won't constantly interrupt you with news alerts and texts, so you can lose yourself in a new world or focus on learning something new.
