| 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 Kobo Glo is an excellent
Kindle alternative, especially for readers seeking EPUB compatibility and international options. | The Sony PRS-T2 is a perfectly good touch-screen e-reader whose only sin is that it doesn't have any competitive advantages over Amazon's and Barnes & Noble's e-readers. |
