| Bottom line | The Kobo Glo is an excellent
Kindle alternative, especially for readers seeking EPUB compatibility and international options. | The affordable Kobo Mini is a likable touch-screen e-ink e-reader that's too small for some and not quite small enough for others. | 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 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. |
