Best E-Reader 2026: Kindle Paperwhite vs Kobo Libra vs reMarkable 2+

The Kindle Paperwhite ($139) is the best e-reader for 90% of readers in 2026 — it has the deepest library, Audible integration, the most refined hardware, and Kindle Unlimited makes it the best value ecosystem. The Kobo Libra 2 ($149) wins for readers who want ePub support, no Amazon lock-in, library borrowing via OverDrive, and a physical page-turn button. The reMarkable 2 ($299) is a fundamentally different product — a digital writing tablet for note-taking and sketching that happens to display e-books, not a dedicated reading device.
