Nook vs Kindle

NOOK!!! - the new color has lits of kids books AND for a lot of them it will even read the story out loud!

Just my opinion, but I will never again purchase ANYTHING from Amazon (Kindle) due to Amazon's solicitation of the "how-to" guide for pedophiles. Yes, they FINALLY removed it from their website, but they have lost me as a customer forever.

I am a Kindle fan all the way. I did research on the Nook vs the Kindle before I made my purchase. I went with the Kindle because Amazon has more books available and it has been around for a while. The nook is newer and may still have some bugs that need to be worked out.

I LOVE my Kindle (in fact I asked this question prior to buying mine so you can probably look at the responses I received, too). My Mom LOVES her Nook. I already had an Amazon account so that was a pro for me - my Mom lives 2 blks away from a B&N so that was a pro for her. I know that you can share "accounts" with a Nook and potentially share books, but I was never going to use that feature. I like that I can download books while I am out of the country so that was a pro for me. The book prices are about the same for both - I'll pay less for one and more for another than my Mom so it works out to be about the same money. I haven't tried to load like books from the library so I don't know how that (or even IF) works. I think that Amazon does offer alot of "deals" on books for free or less than $1.00 - B&N probably does the same but my Mom only looks for new releases so she hasn't said how good of deals there are. I'll bet over 1/2 of my books were free :) I think it really is a personal preference, but, if you have an Amazon acct and/or are familiar with how it works, then you would probably feel more comfortable with the Kindle vs if you live near a B&N (and can use the in store free reading option) then maybe the Nook would be for you.

Good luck!

I love my kindle!! Absoutly love it.
I got it right before I had my second baby and it is my favorite thing right now. The charge lasts forever and downloading books is so easy. I dont know if the nook has a backlight so you can read it without a lamp on during the night I would say thats the only con.
My hubby accidentally just broke mine yesterday morning, I called the number on the instruction manuel and no questions asked it was replaced and I actually received it this morning.
I am ordering a cover right now so that doesnt happen again so I would suggest a cover for it.

I just asked this question not too long ago! After lots and lots of research, I decided on the Nook Color. We can't afford it right now, but I'm saving up!

My Mom has a Kindle and LOVES it.
ALL her friends, now got one.

Don't know much about Nook.

Research it online, doing a comparison via Google.

NOOK!!!

and they don't sell books for instructions to pedophiles on how to get kids to trust them or wiki leaks documents amazon does.
The Nook color is REALLY COOL. go to the store and take a look at it.
