An e-book for schoolchildren is a really useful device, suitable in this case even better than a tablet. It does not damage eyesight due to the E-Ink screen technology, which imitates ink on paper, and is limited in functionality, so that the student will not be able to use the gadget for gaming purposes.
A gadget for a student must have:
- switchable screen backlight so as not to strain your eyes when reading in conditions of sufficient light;
- support for many text and graphic formats;
- a powerful battery so that the device is not discharged in the middle of the school day;
- convenient dimensions and light weight to lie well in a child's hand and not to make the already massive backpack of a student too heavy;
- Wi-Fi module for quickly downloading the necessary files and surfing the net (for study, of course);
- simple control.
Optional requirements for a reader that will definitely take root in a teenager are waterproof (for reading in the bathroom and as an additional protection just in case - children are after all) and support for the XML format for launching, creating and editing Excel spreadsheets. We have compiled a list of the best e-books that are ideal for students. These are reliable functional models with useful, and sometimes unusual, features.

An e-book that retained the navigation buttons on the touch screen. The screen is incomparable: all six inches of the diagonal are implemented on the principle of "electronic ink", which do not waste energy when displaying text, do not have a bad effect on the eyes and imitate the paper version of the book well. Resolution allows text to look almost handwritten without breaking up into visible pixels. Bluetooth is not here, there is Wi-Fi, which is quite enough. The backlight is adjustable, the battery life is pleasantly surprising - according to reviews, a 30% charge is enough for two weeks. Even the most technically demanding student will have enough of this set of characteristics. The word "Aqua" in the name hints at water protection. Dust and moisture protection is implemented with the help of plugs in technological connectors, a rubberized body and hydrogel along the perimeter of the gluing of the body. Users say in the reviews that this e-book has withstood the test of water and time.
- Moisture and dust protection
- Long battery life on a single charge
- Uneven backlight
- Weak processor, and as a result, unhurried work

A small, lightweight e-book with enough built-in memory to fit a year's worth of textbooks for a schoolboy or student. The model is cheap, and in order to reduce the cost, the manufacturer had to cut the screen resolution and remove support for memory cards. But Amazon has retained Wi-Fi and even Bluetooth, and thanks to this the device is no less functional than other participants in our ranking of the best with a higher average price. Reviews confirm that the build quality is high here. The most important drawback: books must be converted to MOBI before downloading, since FB2 is not supported.
