9. Barnes & Noble NOOK eBook

The Barnes & Noble NOOK eBook is the perfect budget solution. It comes with all the basic functions of a reader. It doesn’t offer all that many but it does come with a touch color display. The manufacturers did add a bit of functionality to make it viable for web browsing and playing some games but the device works better when used just for reading. It does not have powerful enough hardware to do anything else and if it did it would have been considered a tablet and that is not the case with the NOOK.
