Nothing beats a lazy summer afternoon devouring a great book; a story that is effortless enough to digest easily yet engaging enough never to want to put down. But for anyone who travels a lot, bringing an entire reading list along can be a hassle. Enter an e-reader - such as the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite - that can store all the books you could need while still being lighter than a paperback novel and offering the benefit of a glare-free screen. Now, make yourself comfortable at the beach, perched in a porch swing or lounging in a hammock and dive into one of these great page-turners.
