Those honors, I'd wager, go to Amazon and Barnes & Noble, respectively (though Barnes & Noble's new Nook Touch Reader ($139, 4.5 stars) might flip that order). Kobo's swinging for the fences with its latest device, the Kobo eReader Touch Edition ($129 direct). The Touch Edition is slimmer than the Kobo Wireless eReader (3.5 stars), and adds a touch screen along with some performance improvements. It's a good ebook reader, and touch screen operation is a much more natural fit than the directional pad Kobo used before. With no hardware page-turn buttons, though, and a tendency to lag heavily when loading just about anything—even chapters in a book—it's not quite to the level of the big ebook kahunas. Design By virtue of having a touch screen, and thus little need for any other controls or buttons, the Kobo eReader Touch Edition is tiny.
amazon Kobo Vox Review & Rating The Kobo Vox ($199 direct) aims to douse the Amazon Kindle Fire ($199, 4 stars) as an inexpensive tablet and ebook reader. But despite sharing a similar look and feel to the Editors’ Choice Kindle Fire, the Kobo Vox lacks the power and polish to compete. It does a decent job as a color ereader, but beyond that it feels dated even next to the year-old Barnes and Noble Nook Color ($199, 4 stars). Its sluggish performance, unrefined software, and subpar reading experience make the Kobo Vox a hard sell, even at just $199. Design The Kobo Vox is a black slab, looking a lot like a Kindle Fire or BlackBerry PlayBook ($499, 2.5 stars). The 7-inch fringe field switching (FFS+) LCD screen is bright and the 1,024-by-600-pixel resolution makes text look clear and crisp. OS, Apps, Book Store The Kobo Vox, Nook Tablet, and Kindle Fire all share the same underlying Google Android 2.3 software. There are four reading-related icons on the bottom of the home screen, along with an All Apps button.
amazon N2A Card (for Nook Color) Review & Rating The Barnes & Noble Nook Color ($249, 4 stars) is already so much more than an ebook reader. As it has a Web browser, email client, and lots of other games and apps, B&N is right to call it a “reader’s tablet.” But reading isn’t all the Nook Color can do. Setting UpThere are three different cards available from N2A: 8GB ($34.99), 16GB ($49.99), and 32GB ($89.99). Each time you start your Nook Color you’ll be greeted by a setup screen that lets you decide whether you want to boot into the standard OS (which is based on Android, but looks nothing like it), or into full Android. CyanogenMod and PerformanceThe Android you’ll see running when the Nook Color boots—it takes several minutes the first time, but is much faster after that—is a heavily modified version of Gingerbread known as CyanogenMod. It’s odd, actually, that N2A didn't just use Honeycomb rather than put so much work into skinning Gingerbread to look like it; we’ve seen Android 3.0 running on the Nook Color before.
