| Bottom line | Though the Kobo eReader Touch Edition doesn't quite measure up to the Nook Touch or the
Kindle, it's a respectable and affordable touch-screen e-reader with a lot of pluses. | 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 new touch-screen Nook is a major advancement over its predecessor and offers some real advantages over the 2010
Kindle. | 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. |
