They are technically tablets, but you can get ones that use e-ink, and that’s basically like looking at a regular piece of paper. I have one that is backlit, but you can also turn the light off. Plus, those versions of the readers are usually cheaper than the ones that work like regular tablets. I didn’t think I would love it as much as I do, but it’s actually been great, so I’d say it’s worth looking into.
