The kindle dosen't support an open format such as epub. Amazon have also deleted books from the kindle without asking. Search new york times website for "Amazon Erases Orwell Books From Kindle"
Please consider an e-reader that supports open formats such as epub. This includes sony's, the nook and many others.
Some say the Nook does not have enough book selections as other eBook readers because of the limited book formats....Have you heard of the Calibre E-book Management software program that can be downloaded to your computer free. It will convert just about any other eBook format to the Barnes & Noble Nook format and send it to your new Nook e-reader.
Also, Barnes and Noble has made no secret of the fact people can come into a store for exclusive content and deals. I don't know if this will include Border's (owned by B&N) or not. And, there are still often special events that people find worthwhile. There's probably more than enough to read on either Kindle or Nook. And much of what is inside the Nook can be upgraded through firmware updates.
u can still place an order, i did when it was sold out and i got it like a month later actually a week shorter than expected and im really pleased with it
I am still a fan of kindle. But I"m still unsure about the nook. I also like the jetbooks. they are very open to the market for people who want a ebook reader that supports the widest amount of formates at a 180 price point.
and the sony readers to me are a big joke because I can get more features from other readers for the same price point.
Great comparison video!! I like that you made them pick which one they would like to have. I'm definitely going to take another look at the Sony e-books. Well Done!
Nook demos will be hitting stores next week or so, so any doubters can check out the demo product. The nook provides storage of over 17,000 books and can also act as an instant dictionary if you don't understand a word while you're reading.
The Nook gives you instant access to over 200,000 e-Books absolutely free. You can also read ANY e-Book you want at no cost while in a Barnes & Noble store. The Nook also allows for you to lend your e-Book to others, even if the person does not own a Nook. All they need is the FREE Barnes & Noble e-Reader program downloaded on their computer. The Nook can also read any e-Book format, whereas the Kindle can only read what's purchased from Amazon. The winner is clear. >__>
Kindle also offers free public domain books as well as different free books every week. I don't know the exact number but i don't think i could ever read all of amazon's free books.
The Wifi is an alternative to the 3G network. The Nook has no browser. The only benefit the wifi network has is faster downloading of books, which is already under a minute, I think.
it can't, but it is android based. and b&n hinted that they will be open to developments (apps, web browser) so it's a possibility in the future. the kindle has it already as an experimental feature- it's slow and chunky, but it works well for most text-based web pages.

I thought the touch screen on the nook was a gimmick. Boy was I wrong!

I prefer the kindle its more of a book experience. If I want a touch screen I would just wait for the I Pad to come out.

The answer is no. BN figured the e-ink display makes web browsing cumbersome. So I've read.

No, it does not. The Nook does not have the ability to surf the internet.
