Switch11 I have been getting your e-mails for approximately a year now. As of about 3 days ago, I have started receiving a blank grey screen with no words as your blog??? Do you have any idea what is going on? Do you have any idea what I can to repair this?

Thank you,

Deborah

Just take a look at this Kindle WiFi vs Nook WiFi comparison. For Nook - just add on that it has 3G delivery. Rest is same between Nook and Nook WiFi. There's not really much of a difference. If you want library books you need to stick with Nook. If you want text to speech (only available for some books) and an easier to use device, then Kindle WiFi.

My husband got me a nook for xmas…but I keep comparing it to kindle wifi…kinde just seems easier to use for me. The touch screen on nook is difficult for a non-techie to use. I have compared til I’m blue and can’t decide. Can someone give me some very basic comparison/pro and con between the 2? Use for me is mainly just to read books

You should check what textbooks you need for your courses, and then whether these are available in Kindle Store and Nook Store.

Nook Color has color.
Nook only has a color tiny screen for navigation.
Kindle 3 is black and white.

You’ll probably be deciding between Kindle and Nook Color.

You can look at it at Target, Staples, and Best Buy. Amazon has videos as does this blog – If you click on Kindle Review Videos at the very top – there’s a link on that page titled ‘Kindle 3 Videos’.

was looking at getting an ereader for my college classwork. i like the fact that the nook has the color option, but seems that the kindle is edging it out. for mainly scholastic use, which do you suggest? i’m majoring in sociology, minoring in criminal justice, so i can probably get away without the color feature. i need to decide within 10 days. any suggestions? is there a kindle 3 coming out soon? (and if these are repeat questions, i apologize. too many posts to read through.) and thanks for the great comparison. this is what i was searching for.

Very good comparison. Though even the update is dated now (Nook color, plus price drops and Kindle 3, plus major performance and feature updates on both the Wifi/3G Nook and the Kindle 3), the basic idea that which is “best” depends very much on what a buyer needs or feels comfortable with still holds.

You should wait – There are rumors of a Nook 2 and if you want till second/third week of September it’ll probably be announced by then.

kindle has a lighted bookcover for $59. I noticed nook has a separate light that clips on. both work well. nook is a little less expensive. I will make my mind up by Friday, sept 3rd. I am buying an e-reader for my wife and she wants a nook. I have researched and compared till I am dizzy. i think kindle is a good deal. just not sure.
