| The Bottom Line | With an excellent built-in light and Amazon's best-in-class e-book selection, the Kindle Paperwhite rises to the top of the e-reader pack. | The Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight sets the standard for e-ink e-readers going forward and is well worth the extra money if you do a lot of nighttime reading. | The $69 Amazon Kindle is an excellent no-frills e-book reader for anyone who’s willing to forgo a built-in light or a touch screen. | The Kobo Glo is an excellent Kindle alternative, especially for readers seeking EPUB compatibility and international options. | The new touch-screen Nook is a major advancement over its predecessor and offers some real advantages over the 2010 Kindle. | Basic specs |
