The best ebook readers
Just want to read? Most of these ebook readers use E-Ink screens that can't play videos or Angry Birds, but excel at displaying text without the glare you'll find on glass tablet screens.
The Paperwhite lights itself and offers a pretty, high-contrast and high-resolution display. It's got the most even lighting of all the self-lighting readers.

Another good self-lighting reader, though the screen (and the lighting consistency) aren't as good as the Kindle Paperwhite.
Want the lightest possible reader? The Kobo Mini is the best choice, at just three-tenths of a pound.

At $79, this tiny touchscreen reader is the best value in the category.
Want to read it in color? You'll need to step up to an LCD-based tablet. The Nook HD is the best tablet for a pure reading experience.
