There are lots of reasons to head back to school with a good e-reader, the least of which being you’re already going to be spending countless hours staring at glowing screens. E-Ink is much easier on the eyes when you’re reading for R&R or studying, and filling an e-reader with digital textbooks keeps what limited shelf space you’ll have free for other things. The $260 Kobo Sage isn’t the cheapest option out there, but it can be paired with a $40 stylus for annotating textbooks or simply taking notes in class, and with an eight-inch screen, it’s no where near as large or bulky as other e-note devices.
