| Bottom line | Barnes & Noble's Nook Color is a capable color touch-screen e-book reader that offers much of the functionality of an Android tablet for half the price of an
iPad. | 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. | The Kobo Glo is an excellent
Kindle alternative, especially for readers seeking EPUB compatibility and international options. |
