I would be stunned if Barnes and Noble adjusted pricing. A good example of where they come down on pricing is John Macarthur’s “SLAVE” which is way overpriced on the Nook and cheaper on the Kindle.

I too noticed that many books consistently are higher on the price-gouging Nook.

My daughter has Nook, and likes it. She says her only complaint is that books are listed only by author or category, not by title. How come? There should be cross-references by author, title & subject, just as there are in regular library indices.

Jessica,
Amazon has said that it will add support for library books this year. If you don’t mind waiting a few months – keep the Kindle.
Else you can return it and get the New Nook 2.

I just received a kindle wifi as a gift – but really want to be able to utilize the EPUB Library option. Should I exchange for a Nook? I did see that there is some research on conversion sites so that kindle would work…but I’m not very tech savvy and wondering what is my best option….

if you get a DRM remover and calibre they can make any format for any reader POSSIBLE! i’ve already taken a PDF and converted it to EPUB for the nook and it works PERFECTLY!

Can’t help you with that.

Neither has comprehensive textbook coverage at the moment and neither has been quick to add textbooks. The textbook cartel aren’t very eager to help them either.

A quick look at the stores for textbooks of the major you are interested in would give you an idea.

So I am thinking about college already (I am still in high school) but the point is, that when comparing the two EBooks, I wanted to know which EBook would be better for price and availability of college text books.

There are 1.8 million free books at Internet Archive.

The more popular public domain books are available in the Kindle and Nook Stores themselves. There are also periodic offers on new books. 50 to 100 a month on Kindle. Not sure how many on Nook but probably quite a few.
