The Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch Reader has been given a better rating than the Amazon.com Kindle by Consumer Reports. While I have not always been on the same page as Consumer Reports, I know how seriously people take their ratings.

The most popular selling Amazon.com Kindle device is the one that has advertising and special offers built in that retails for $114. The $25 in savings that people get from the Kindle 6″ WiFi with E Ink Pearl technology makes a difference to people on whether they want a Kindle. This holiday season, I would not be surprised if Amazon.com drops the ad-supported Kindle to below $99. [BusinessInsider]
