Ah, the difference a year makes. Last holiday season, we struggled to find nice things to say about many members of the first e-reader generation. Fast-forward to this August, when we revisited the topic, and we were blown away by how things had (and in some cases hadn't) changed. New models have appeared since, but, for us, Amazon's most recent Kindle continues to be our hands-down pick. That's not to say we don't have a few niggling reservations. (Click here to read our review.) Still, for now, the Kindle (in either the $139 Wi-Fi or $189 3G versions) offers by far the most potent combination of quality, simplicity and value. The device itself is well-made and lightweight, and it has a stupendous E-Ink screen, a ridiculously long battery life (a month with the wireless turned off) and a truly pleasurable interface. And, as the saying goes, it just works. Navigation and purchasing are all completely intuitive for even the most technophobic Luddite. We're sure some young upstart will eventually appear and kick Kindle to the curb, but you can't currently find a more perfectly crafted and full-featured e-reader for the price.
