[...] with the units. Do you like a touch screen? Do you want it to be in color (or some color, like the Nook which has one color pane coupled with a fuller e-ink pane?) See which ones you feel most [...]

After buying and returning the nook, I can safely say that it is inferior to the Kindle. What I love most about the Kindle is the incredible ecosystem they created within the device. The nook feels and behaves sloppily. Furthermore, it is really sloooow. I tried so hard to like it, but it shouldn’t 5 minutes to highlight a paragraph in a book. YES 5 minutes!!! Wanna know the best part?? There is a BUG that prevents you from seeing your NOTES! The BN sales guy said, “well, this is supposed to be for casual reading, not note taking”. Needless to say, I returned the device and bought a Kindle…Boy what a difference.

I am hoping, hoping, hoping the Kindle switches over to epub and incorporates lending and library features in the next revision. It would be unstoppable.

If I could buy books from Amazon using a Nook I’d be a happy camper.

2)the read to you feature is not worthless. think about a child with learning disabilities being able to read and hear what they are reading when getting ready for an english class. or if you are on a trip and have all those books in your ereader you can then listen to them while you are driving down the road. Great for road trips. The Text-to-speach also works on the pdf files.

Peter, while the Nook has a screen that is clearer the difference isn’t anywhere as big as you make it out to be.
I’m working on a detailed Nook review and will be putting up Nook Vs Kindle videos soon after that.
Then people can decide for themselves.

The screen technology is the same. Nook does have a better screen contrast since –
* They use bolded font throughout.
* They have the black border around the screen (an effect you can recreate on kindle 2 with a black skin)
* They have a whiter background.

After finishing my nook review will update this post to include both pros (like better screen contrast) and cons (erratic deliveyr with books missing pages). Stay Tuned and thanks for the comment.

The article states that the screens are the same. I beg to differ, the nook has crisp dark ink against an almost white screen, but Kindle is a dull gray screen with dark gary letters….very low contrast compared with the Nook that I tried. I think Nook wins hands down on the screen.

I take back the comment about the expandable memory not adding value. I was thinking only of books not audio books and music which take a lot of space.
