PCMag rated the Nook a 4 out of 5. Reviewer Dan Costa liked its 3G and Wi-Fi support, as well as its second, smaller color display for touch-screen navigation. Unlike the Kindle, it supports ePUB format. Barnes & Noble also has a one-million-plus-title library. Read the Barnes & Noble Nook E-Reader review for more details.
