Would you consider getting an e‑reader? If you were to choose one, which of its features would you most search for? Size? Audiobook playback? Maximum RAM? One thing is certain, before you make your final choice, you should get as much information about the product as possible to avoid disappointment.

Czy rozważasz nabycie czytnika książek? Gdybyś miał/miała wybrać czytnik, na co zwróciłbyś/zwróciłabyś uwagę? Rozmiar ekranu? Możliwość odtwarzania audiobooka? Maksymalną pamięć RAM? Jedna kwestia jest bezsporna – zanim dokonasz wyboru, powinieneś/powinnaś dowiedzieć się o danym modelu jak najwięcej, by uniknąć rozczarowania.
