Amanda, not sure if Nook Study syncs with Nook. Nook Color would be decent for textbooks but a larger screen size would be ideal. iPad 2.

Ashley, both do. However, the range of textbooks they have is somewhat limited. B&N has something called NookStudy which is PC software tailored to textbooks and quite good.

I’d wait for Kindle 4 to see if it matches Nook 2′s touch screen or exceeds it by adding stylus.

Question: I am trying to decide between the Kindle 3 and the Nook. I was wondering if either one of them has the ability to download textbooks to them. Im a college student looking to be a little more green and efficient. I also love to read so I am getting one reguardless but the ability to load my textbooks on it would make my decision for me for sure.

For following sermons (looking up verses quickly)…which one? Nook or Kindle 3?

Can you sync the new nook study to the actual nook device? if so would you suggest the nook color for textbooks or doesn’t it really matter?

Nook color sucks. B&N would not replace. I will not deal with them ever again. Go with Ipad or Kindle

Nook color sucks. Would not stop freezing the first week I got it. I sent back for NEW one and they sent me a pre owned nook. I could have saved $100 to begin. B&N sucks I will no longer shop books there.

Karen, for the Big 6 Publishers the prices are set by Publishers and you’ll see same prices on Kindle and Nook. It’s the same problem for the Big 6 Publishers regardless of eReader.

The one thing I did not see mentioned is that Barnes and Noble is charging the same price or more for the ebooks than the paper or hard cover book. The 1st edition nook also has a tendency to crack on the page turn buttons and customer service does nothing to rectify it. I’d be interested to know if they ebook companies go out of business, what happens to the personal library that happens to be stored on their server. I bought a nook and regret it. The only positives were the quickness in which books were available, but I have had so many problems it does not make it worth it. For now I have gone back to paper books, I might try a Kindle in the future, but as an owner of a nook I will say it is a waste of money and energy that most people do not have these days.

You should get an iPad.

A textbook on a 6″ or even a 7″ screen will be a nightmare. The lack of color on Kindle and Nook will be a pain too.

If you can’t afford an iPad get a Nook color. Do wait to hear what B&N releases tomorrow – there’s a small chance it’s a new Nook Color.
