Kindle has more and cheaper books; Nook preserves a little more of the in-store buying experience, if that is attractive to you. Kindle is slightly lighter, Nook slightly smaller. I believe both have iPad/iPhone apps.<br /><br />If pushed, I'd pick the Nook because of the possibility of buying DRMed epub books from other stores and having them work. You can only "sideload" unDRMed work to Kindle.<br /><br />There are lots of smaller companies producing interesting readers, if you like to hack or play with your reader. If you want to download and be done with it, stick to the big two.Magshttp://austenblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36119718.post-66645717506443342462010-07-26T19:26:53.030-04:002010-07-26T19:26:53.030-04:00Kindle!
