Amazon’s python-like stranglehold on the e-reader market can make it easy to forget that Bezos and co have any competition whatsoever. But Kobo has proved a worthy rival, and its latest reader packs in some pretty impressive specs for the price. There’s a 6in display with 1024x758 resolution, an adjustable light for late-night reading and a 1000mAh battery that should last you weeks between charges. It’s a few grammes lighter than Amazon’s basic Kindle, and offers double the storage at 8GB - or around 6000 books. Kobo’s support for OverDrive allows you to borrow ebooks from most public libraries with a valid card, with the option to purchase via Kobo’s digital store. £90/ kobo.com
