What do you need to read e-books on your tablet?

You can use your tablet for lots of things, such as browsing the internet or reading the newspaper. If you want to read comfortably, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. In this article, we'll give you some tips to ensure the best reading experience.

Apps for a better reading experience

There are various apps that improve your reading experience. In most cases, the screen of your tablet is to bright to read e-books. An app uses specific settings that are more comfortable for your eyes. Some brands often have more functionalities, such as a built-in dictionary. Bluefire Reader, for example. There are also apps that allow you to read newspapers, magazines, or borrowed books for a fee, such as Blendle or the Online Bibliotheek. You can find these apps in the app store on your tablet.

File formats

E-books are available in different file formats. A PDF is a common format. Your tablet can easily open such files. There are also files that it wont support, such as EPUB files. Files that aren't secured with Adobe DRM also won't open on your tablet. There are various apps that make it possible for you to open these files, such as Aldiko. You can download this app in the Google PlayStore (Android) or App Store (iOS).

E-readers

If you like to read, we recommend an e-reader instead of a tablet. An e-reader has a special E-ink screen that properly displays books. The image stays the same until you turn the page, which is more comfortable for your eyes. In addition, the screen consumes less energy this way. So your e-reader lasts long before you have to charge it again.
