| Bottom line | The Kobo eReader isn't a bad little basic e-book reader, but it's just not a compelling deal now that the more full-featured Barnes & Noble Nook has matched its low price. | The Kobo Glo is an excellent
Kindle alternative, especially for readers seeking EPUB compatibility and international options. | 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 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. |
