Consumer Reports Says New Nook Simple Touch Reader is the Best eBook Reader (for now)

When Barnes & Noble launched the first generation Nook ebook reader (November 2009) with the color LCD strip at the bottom, it did not get a lot of positive reviews and was generally considerd a failed attempt to compete with Amazon’s Kindle. The Nook Color launched last year, it received better reviews and and became a favorite of people who wanted it as an inexpensive starting point to create an Android tablet with just an unauthorized firmware upgrade.
