Buying an E-Reader

A few months ago, I decided to acquire an e-reader. When it comes to spending money, I always try to avoid irrational purchases. Hence, if the sum is substantial, I usually wait at least a week before making any decisions. 
After 10 days of thoughtful consideration and meticulous comparison of accessible models, I bought the selected device. As a huge admirer of analog books, I wanted my e-reader to resemble a paper book as much as possible. I am pretty satisfied with the result.
There is a myriad of factors that have inclined me to this purchase. Firstly, the convenience. One can download thousands of books and access them wherever one wants. It internet, there is an array of books available for free, no matter the rarity, language, or author. Sometimes it is not feasible to find the sought book offline, especially if it was written in other language.
Money, of course, was also an exceedingly important aspect. In the long term, in case one is an active reader, buying an e-reader is more than a prudent decision. 
Another decisive factor was the ease of looking up new words while reading in a foreign language. It take less than a second to access any reliable dictionary and not only to see the definition of an unknown word, but also to hear the native speaker's pronunciation. All these features do not require internet connection, by the way.
The main and, so far, the only drawback is that the e-reader is not as tangible as a real book. Nevertheless, after a few reading sessions one gets used to it. I, like many other people, preferred analog books over digital ones. However, for me, the pros have outweighed the cons.


Hello! I am aiming for a formal style of writing. Feel free to correct not only grammar mistakes, but also things that may sound unnatural. Thanks for your help!

Feedback

Your English is very good, in fact, it's super formal and uses a lot of quality vocabulary/words! You might want to think about that in case you want to use a different tone or sound less formal for a different occasion.
