I am trying to decide between a Kindle and a Nook.

[ohheckyeah]

2. All the Kindle's

except for the Kindle Fire I think use e-ink. I have the Kindle Keyboard which I love. My nephew has a Nook but said he wished he had the Kindle Keyboard. I use the keyboard a lot when I'm shopping in the Kindle store and when I'm making categories for my books.

I have never seen or used the $79 Kindle or any Nook so I can only speak to the Kindle I have. I love it and I think Amazon makes things really simple. Barnes and Noble may make things simple for ordering as well but I just don't know.

The Kindle gives you a Kindle email address that you can mail documents to your Kindle which I like as well.

I think the services offered by the two companies are almost as important as which e-reader you get. Amazon let's you upload a gift card and then deducts the cost of any book from it automatically if you want. There is a page that archives all of your books so if you delete a book you can re-download it for free from your archives. I don't know what B&N offers....maybe someone else can speak to that.
