Abstract: Here's how I read on a tablet: I open the Kindle app. I read for somewhere between four and nine seconds. A notification pops up: I have a new email or someone tweeted a funny link at me. I tap on that notification, and check out whatever's come in. I che...
Lightweight, GlowLight can be turned off, Brick and mortar stores for troubleshooting
Loose rubber bumper exposes internal components, Ebooks are more expensive than on rival Kindle
As far as eReaders go, the Barnes & Noble Nook GlowLight offers decent competition to the Kindle Paperwhite, with comparable resolution and size. It's lighter than the Kindle and users have the advantage of brick and mortar stores for those that are aver...

Built-in lighting, Sturdy, Physical page-turn buttons, plus touch screen, Useful social-sharing features, EPub support, AC adapter included
No audio or Web-browsing functions, Slightly lighter text than original Simple Touch, Premium for lighting seems steep, Good 7-inch tablets not much pricier
This e-reader makes E Ink readable in the dark. It's our pick for those not wedded to Amazon or who want access to ePub content from libraries and e-book sellers. (Note, though, that good 7-inch color tablets are getting close in price.) Read More…...
