有一种流行的观念认为，计算机和多媒体会减少人们的阅读量。事实证明，多亏了现代科技，人们的阅读量比以往任何时候都多！如果您的朋友或家人中有一个爱书的人，那么以下技术礼物之一可能非常适合他们。
大多数人喜欢在平板电脑或智能手机(tablet or smartphone)上阅读电子书，但有很多理由使用专用的电子墨水设备。
最新的Kindle Paperwhite是送礼的绝佳选择。Paperwhite的售价为 110 美元，属于冲动购买领域，但它具有可靠的功能。它薄、轻且防水。它支持有声读物和蓝牙(Bluetooth)耳机，并具有内置灯。它的 300 PPI Paperwhite 屏幕(PPI Paperwhite screen)是市场上最好的屏幕之一。虽然亚马逊销售更昂贵的电子阅读器，但当(Amazon)Paperwhite是一款如此完整和成熟的设备时，很难想出花更多钱的理由。
2. Glocusent 迷你夹式阅读灯(Glocusent Mini Clip-on Reading Light)- 18.99 美元
无论您是阅读纸质书(paper book)还是使用没有背光的电子阅读器，这款夹式灯都是送给贪婪的读者的有用礼物。Glocusent因其以下特点而脱颖而出。

3.有声礼品会员资格(An Audible Gift Membership)- 7.95 美元至 229.50 美元

亚马逊(Amazon)的Kindle 商店(Kindle Store)是电子书爱好者(book lover)的热门目的地。您可以在大多数设备上阅读这些书籍，因此给爱书人(book lover)一张Kindle 礼品(Kindle gift)卡是一个安全的选择。这些卡片不必用于购买书籍，因为它们是带有Kindle图形的普通亚马逊(Amazon)卡片。
5. Apple AirPods（第三代）(Apple AirPods (3rd Generation)) ——175 美元
无论您是喜欢听有声读物还是喜欢在翻阅书籍时在设备上听音乐，一套好的无线耳机都非常有用。虽然市场上有很多选择，但 Apple 的 AirPods 是最受欢迎的，这是有充分理由的。

10 Perfect Tech Gifts for Book Lovers
Thеre was a pоpular notion that computers and multimedia would make people read less. It turns out that thanks to modern technology, people are reading more than ever! If you’ve got a book-lover amongst your friends or family, оne of the following teсh gifts may be perfect for them.
Most people enjoy reading ebooks on a tablet or smartphone, but there are many reasons to use a dedicated e-ink device instead.
The latest Kindle Paperwhite is an excellent choice for a gift. At $110, the Paperwhite is in the impulse-buy territory, yet it has solid features. It’s thin, light and waterproof. It supports Audible audiobooks and Bluetooth headsets and has a built-in light. Its 300 PPI Paperwhite screen is one of the best in the market. While Amazon sells more expensive e-readers, it’s hard to think of a reason to spend more when the Paperwhite is such a complete and mature device.
This clip-on light is a useful gift for a voracious reader, whether you’re reading a paper book or using an e-reader without a backlight. The Glocusent stands out due to the following features.
You can use it as a free-standing lamp since the base can act both as a clip and stand. The battery is rechargeable, so no digging for AA batteries halfway through a book. It also has three different color temperatures, five brightness levels, and enough runtime to get you through a short holiday without a recharge.
Audiobooks are a fantastic way to catch up on great literature while exercising, running errands, or “resting your eyes” on the couch.
Audible is the market leader in the audiobook space. Membership gives you access to an extensive library of audiobooks. You get one credit each month to buy any book in the library, which you can keep even if you end the subscription. For example, if you give someone a $149.50 one-year subscription, they get 12 books of their choice to keep and the opportunity to listen to thousands more.
Amazon’s Kindle Store is a popular destination for ebook lovers. You can read these books on most devices, so giving a book lover a Kindle gift card is a safe bet. These cards don’t have to be used to buy books as they’re regular Amazon cards with Kindle graphics.
Whether you like to listen to audiobooks or enjoy listening to music on your device as you page through your book, a good set of wireless buds can prove very useful. While there are many options on the market, Apple’s AirPods are the most popular, and for a good reason.
You can use them with any Bluetooth-capable device, but they perform best using an iOS device as there is a little less lag with Apple devices, but that’s hardly relevant for music or audiobooks. If the AirPods aren’t quite suitable for your gift recipient, have a look at 10 Alternatives to Apple AirPods to find your perfect match.
People may not be able to read due to a disorder like Dyslexia. A C-Pen reader (and other devices like it) can access standard print material for someone with reading problems.
Drag the pen across the line of text, and a synthesized voice will read it out loud. It doesn’t need any external connection to work. The price of this reader pen is reasonable as more advanced versions run into thousands of dollars if you’re looking for something more comprehensive or cutting-edge.
Even though tablets need a daily recharge, compared to the once every few weeks recharge for e-ink devices, they are still the best all-around reading option. This is especially true if you want to read magazines, comic books, and other material in color.
For many people, the typical 10-inch tablet is a little too big for comfortable reading or easy transport, but Apple’s iPad Mini manages to straddle the line between size and comfort perfectly. It has an edge-to-edge screen and offers impressive specifications. It’s also one of the most affordable tablets on the market but manages top-tier specifications and build quality.
The Mark-My-Time digital bookmark is a practical gift for younger readers who need to improve their reading ability. It’s an easy way to help children track how much reading they’re doing, up to a maximum of 100 hours. It’s a simple, inexpensive device but can be a brilliant tool for young readers and a great stocking-stuffer.
Many mid-and high-end smartphones and tablets offer built-in blue light reduction. That’s the component of computer display light that’s thought to be most responsible for eye strain. If you know someone who spends a lot of time staring at a screen that doesn’t offer this type of protection, then a pair of blue-light blocking glasses may be just what they need. It’s the perfect gift for book lovers who read a lot of ebooks.
10. Book-style Tablet Cases
Our last gift suggestion for book lovers isn’t any one particular product but a whole category. Depending on the device, there’s a good chance you’ll find a book-style cover for it. That’s a cover that makes the device look like a traditional book from the outside until you open it. Maybe it’s just an acknowledgment that there’s something magical about cracking open a physical book, and this is a small way to keep some of that magic.
Two good examples include the Vintage Brown book case for the iPad Mini 5 and the ZtoptopCase faux leather cover for the Galaxy Tab A7.
With so many cool tech gifts to choose from, any family and friends who are book lovers will be delighted to receive one of the gadgets from our list above. If you have any great gift ideas of your own, be sure to share them in the comments below.
