PAPER-LIKE DISPLAY FOR EASY, NATURAL READING

The Reader Touch Edition™ utilizes high contrast E Ink® Pearl technology on its anti-glare touch screen to deliver an amazing, paper-like display that’s more like ink on paper and fully readable in direct sunlight.

If you prefer, a virtual keyboard is also available for entering quick notes or searching your eBooks. You can even export your notes to your computer using the ReaderTM Library software.
