Holiday Gift Guide 2012: Best eReaders

Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight

For Nook owners, the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight is a top pick. This eInk eReader paved the way for backlit eReaders and still offers a great ebook experience.

The Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight starts at $119 like the Paperwhite, but it doesn't force ads on users for that price.

For reading outdoors and in bright light, the eInk display beats the glare, and at night, the display glows offering a lit reading experience.

Users can adjust the level of lighting as well as font sizes.  The battery lasts a month on a single charge with the light on. Users can choose from over 2.5 million books, magazines and newspapers.
