Nook Vs Kindle

She still uses her Kindle from time to time..but the backlite on the Ipad doesn't even make it close (IMHO). Great tool for an avid reader though...and not that expensive.

I just bought the kindle wifi and love it. I don't have a nook but I did compare them.

The kindle doesn't have the mini touch screen so its lighter and gets 3X the battery life. The screen is amazing it looks like real paper. I have a couple classmates ordering them because I put some of the references books on it and its so easy to carry around.

I use calibre and sigil to edit epubs and convert them to mobi for the kindle. Both programs are easy and free.

I went with kindle over ipad because I have an iphone 4 and whenever I want to read outside the reflective screen makes it impossible.
