Kindle Ereader
Basic 6-inch Kindle e-reader with e-ink display that looks and reads like real paper. The matte screen reflects light and uses a backlight, so you can read with equal comfort in bright sunlight and in the dark. Unlike tablet screens, the Kindle is glare-free. The low cost is achieved through ads displayed on the lock screen. A single battery charge lasts weeks. 8 GB of memory is enough to store thousands of books. You can listen to audiobooks via Bluetooth.

PocketBook Touch
Discontinued but still widely used model. It was the first PocketBook with eInk touchscreen. It has a 6" screen (E Ink Pearl, 166 dpi) with a resolution of 800x600 pixels and supports 16 grey gradations which allows the display of complex texts and illustrations. It has Send-to-Pocketbook, Dropbox and Pocketbook cloud. It works very well together with the Pocketbook reader app on Android tablet. It even has a dark mode with the last update.
