Nook

Barnes & Noble has joined forces with Lenovo to relaunch its 10.1-inch tablet, offering a "best of both worlds" reading experience, with access to millions of ebooks through the B&N app as well as everything you'd expect from a modern budget tablet.

Voracious readers – especially those with an appreciation for light bags and uncluttered bookselves – should appreciate this spec-by-spec comparison of top e-readers.

Barnes & Noble's Nook Color was, in a sense, the first "Kindle Fire." The first budget 7-in e-reader/tablet hybrid launched in late 2010, a full year before the 1st-gen Fire hit store shelves. Well, today all that's left of B&N's tablet strategy is a new partnership with Samsung.

Remember when everyone asked if the first iPad was a "Kindle killer?" Well, although tablets have put the brakes on e-readers' momentum, the Kindle is still alive and kicking. Is it your best e-reader option this holiday season? Join Gizmag, as we break down the top e-readers you can buy today.
