| Bottom line | The Nook Wi-Fi/3G doesn't quite measure up to the
Kindle in terms of design and overall performance, but it's a worthy alternative if you're looking for a more open e-reader that supports the EPUB format. | The new touch-screen Nook is a major advancement over its predecessor and offers some real advantages over the 2010
Kindle. | 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. | 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. |
