I bought a Kindle a year ago and I'm very happy with it.

One of the things I really like about the Kindle is the iPhone Kindle app. If I am in the middle of a book and don't have my Kindle with me I can pick the book up on my iPhone right where I left off. The Kindle and iPhone app keep in sync with each other. This still has the same catch as the iPad -- backlighting and high gloss screen make it difficult to read in many places, but I love the app none-the less.

I knew the Mac freaks would be in here.

Hey mac freaks no one asked about the ipad. Simple question Kindle or Nook.

I don't fancy your attitude or tone, Mr. Goings.
