The Bottom Line	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.	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 new touch-screen Nook is a major advancement over its predecessor and offers some real advantages over the 2010 Kindle.
