It’s also waterproof (how many tablets can say that?) so that you can read by the pool without worrying about stray splashes. And while it doesn’t have a regular headphone jack, the Kindle Oasis does support Bluetooth connectivity, so you can use wireless headphones and speakers to listen to audiobooks or the screen reader function. Your notes are automatically organized by book in one place, so you can browse, review, and export them via email. Also: Kindle Scribe vs. Remarkable 2 Tablet: Digitize your notes It also comes with preset templates to help you create notebooks, journals, and lists, but it also can create sticky notes in Microsoft Word and other compatible Word documents. The Kindle Scribe comes with the Basic pen, but for the more advanced features like a dedicated eraser or the shortcut button, you’ll need the premium pen, which costs $30 extra. Of course, you don’t have to get a dedicated e-reader in order to read on a tablet. The iPad Mini is a powerful tablet with great applications that also provides a great reading device thanks to its light weight and sharp screen. It has an 8.3-inch liquid retina display that is 326 ppi, so a little more pixels than the Kindles. This makes text look especially sharp on screen, and coupled with Apple’s True Tone technology (which adjusts the color and intensity of your display to match the ambient light) it provides a natural reading experience. Read the review: Apple iPad Mini (6th Gen.) review Apple’s anti-reflective screen coating also makes it less likely to catch a sunlight glare when reading outside on a sunny day. With the iPad Mini, you’re also getting Apple’s powerful A15 bionic chip, an ultra-wide 12 MP front camera, support for the second-generation Apple Pencil to take notes, 80% faster graphics than the previous model, Touch ID, and more. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8.4 is perhaps lesser known than its Tab S counterparts, but this small screen, lightweight tablet makes the perfect tablet for reading. It comes with a 1,920 by 1,200 pixel display with 270 ppi (close to Kindle’s 300 ppi) so that images and text look bright and sharp on the screen. Even though it runs on the outdated Android 9 Pie operating system, you’ll still get great tablet features like a 5MP front-facing camera and a 8MP rear camera with autofocus, a long-lasting battery, and the ability to expand your storage to up to 512GB with a microSD card (that’s a lot of books!). The subscription gets you access to thousands of kid-friendly ad-free books, as well as movies and games and other educational content your child will love. Also: Want a tablet for your kid? Our picks aren’t just for entertainment Parents can control screen time and set educational goals for their children using the parental controls built into the tablet to make sure your kid is actually reading or learning something while using it. Plus, it has 2 MP front and rear-facing cameras with 720p HD video recording with the ability to add fun and themed filters and frames to photos. However, if you want an all-in-one type tablet, you can opt for a tablet like the iPad Mini or the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.4 so you can browse the web, stream videos, take photos, and, of course, read a book.
