    Let's just leave reading on paper out of the equation: What's the best way to read books, on a tablet or dedicated e-book reader? The answer: It depends on what you need—or don't need.

    Our "tough tech choices" video presents arguments for both types of device to help you find your way out of this quandary. And before you buy, you can check our free buying guides and updated Ratings (available to subscribers) for e-book readers and tablets at Consumer Reports Online.
