can’t decide if I want to get my wife the nook or the kindle.
Sis in law got the new kindle with wifi only, so she can still download books, etc. You can have up to 6 people on your account, like itunes to share books, etc.

I want it for her for magazines more than anything because she can never catch up and they sit on the table in a neat little pile.

From what I understand there are different electronic magazine formats and one that isn’t supported by an ereader is zinio?

I just purchased a Nook, after much consideration of the two you mentioned. My reasons for finally choosing the Nook were the ability to download “free” library books, the web browser that it comes with, and the ability to lend ebooks. I also like the “Daily” that comes with the Nook, and the weekly free book, plus you can read any book in the store for free…which I guess you can also do with the real books. I’ve had it for over two weeks and have only charged it once and even than it was only down 50%. Charging is very easy, and it is not a huge charger…fits in my case.

I’m fairly certain I saw a Nook in person the other day (it was in passing…) and in that split second I decided that the Kindle was more up my alley in terms of looks. Unfortunately that’s as far as my knowledge of ebook-readers go! But the fact that the Kindle has a longer battery life is a real incentive for me — I hate having to worry about the battery dying!

I’ll probably have my laptop with me in most cases, but the idea of reading for an extended period of time on any laptop screen makes my eyes hurt. The eInk feature of e-readers is something I really like. I definitely agree on the battery life though; that (and some other features) has me leaning more towards the Kindle.

Awesome! :D :D

I don’t have any details about my exact address or anything yet, but I’ll let you know when I find out (hopefully soon). Hooray for penpaling! :D

I don’t use an e-reader, but I think I’d vote for the one with more battery life if I were choosing. :)

Also, unrelated but I figured you’d be more likely to see it here than if I replied on my own blog: I’d super love to penpal this year! As soon as I find out my exact new address for my on-campus apartment (just another week or two), I’ll email it to you. :D
