The C on this device stands for “color.”
The Onyx Book Nova Air C doesn’t just display black-and-white text and images like the other eReaders on this list. It’s also great for comic books and magazines! The 7.8-inch screen isn’t big enough for most comic books and magazines, but it is perfect for colored manga. The Nova Air C also allows you to scribble notes on the page. It even has a cloud storage system for those notes! Overall, it may be much more spendy compared to most eReaders, but the Onyx Boox Nova Air C features make it a great premium eReader. So reward yourself with very own Onyx Book Nova Air C, available at ShopeeMall.

Amazon Kindle

The base Amazon Kindle is the perfect entry-level eReader. If you have a vast library, the 8GB storage capacity can store thousands of books in its memory. However, its 6-inch E-ink screen leads to fewer words per page, requiring more swipes on the screen that could cause more smudges that affect visibility. On the other hand, if you’re not overly particular and just want a device that lets you store and read your favorite books in one portable device, then the Amazon Kindle is for you. Grab your very own Kindle at ShopeeMall.

Starts at ₱6,525
