1. Look for big deals on the big three. You can now buy an Amazon Kindle, a Barnes & Noble Nook or a Sony Reader for $150 or less. Plus, if you were going to buy a tablet computer anyway, the Apple iPad ($500) and Motorola Xoom ($600) make excellent e-readers. 2. Read the small print. Some low-cost smartphones make decent e-readers. But you’ll need e-reading software. Both Amazon and Barnes & Noble offer free apps to download for most major mobile devices.
