I think ultimately it may come down to content... Wulf`gar Send a noteboard - 09/11/2010 10:28:09 PM
Looks like both devices have their supporters. But I guess that means I can't really go wrong either way.


If you're happy to buy everything from Amazon, the Kindle (3) is probably the better device. If you want a little more flexibility or hate supporting proprietary formats, then maybe you should look to the nook.

Also, I'm not sure if it works with the Kindle (it seems to say it does), but Calibre is an awesome eBook Library manager. It's a little quirky, but I use it regularly to push non-DRM'd ePUBs to my nook. It lets you edit the metadata and everything.

Kindle or Nook? Gher - 09/11/2010 01:56:02 AM 1004 Views
Kindle is all DRM. For that reason, I'm wary. Ghavrel - 09/11/2010 02:01:52 AM 709 Views
unless you're into uncommon titles and textbooks, I don't see why one needs Amazon's market. LadyLorraine - 09/11/2010 03:48:01 AM 704 Views

Is the type pad extra slow? Or is it just as good as the average touchscreen? Gher - 09/11/2010 10:08:48 PM 647 Views
The touch pad is a bit slow, but it's never detracted from the performance for me LadyLorraine - 09/11/2010 10:53:58 PM 703 Views
