Ensure that your Ebook reader features Japanese character support. Otherwise your reader will not be able to display Japanese and you may not be able to access your texts. Check the manual, website or ask a store clerk before you purchase an Ereader.
Select a font and letter size that is easy for you to read. When reading in another language, it can sometimes be difficult to read characters. If you are new to Japanese, select a large font that is easy to read. This will help you learn to distinguish between different characters.
Download a Japanese to English dictionary for your Ebook reader such as the one available from memoware (memoware.com).
Find some Japanese learning texts that are available as eBooks. Websites such as Free eBook Download.net (free-ebook-download.net) has a list of several free Japanese learning eBooks available for download. Various online book retailers also have Japanese learning eBooks available for sale.
Try downloading a fiction or non-fiction text in its original Japanese once your reading skills have improved. Websites such as Project Gutenberg (gutenberg.org) has a number of free Japanese language texts that you can download to your eBook reader.
Try to read the Japanese book while consulting your Japanese to English dictionary. This will be slow and methodical at first, but as you improve, you should be able to read with more ease.
