Kindle or Nook

I'm sure this has been asked before, but which one do you have and do you love it? Wish you got something else?

Re: Kindle or Nook

I have the Kindle and I have had it for over a year. I love it except I am starting to get frustrated by the fight between Amazon and several publishers. Some of my favorite authors are not available through Amazon Kindle anymore, until the issue is resolved.

I was researching the Nook and I like the idea that you can "share" your books with other people for 14 days! That is a great feature!

Re: Kindle or Nook

I have only used a Nook and I love it.

The Kindle is similar and I have heard great things about it as well.

As PP said the sharing a book option appealed to me and at the time I was buying my DH researched the Nook (which was new) and he said it got better reviews so he went with that one

Re: Kindle or Nook

I have the Nook and LOVE it!! I only have had it for a few weeks and I am already on my 4th book!! Besides the free lending between nooks, the feature that I have been using most is being able to borrow e-books through the public library!!! I have only bought 1 book for the nook, the rest I borrowed from the public library. The nook also has "free Fridays" and they have a new book every friday that you can download for free. You also can also read books for free on the nook if you are in barnes and noble, but I haven't done that yet.

I didn't know you could borrow books from the library with the Nook, I thought that was only from the Sony e-reader. Another point for the Nook.

Re: Kindle or Nook

I just went out and purchased my Nook! I have been going back and forth between the Kindle and Nook for a few months and am leaving for a long vacation tomorrow and decided to just try it out (you have 14 days to return if you don't like it).

FYI -- I was told that the feature where you can lend a book out to someone else for 14 days will only work once per book. E.g., if you lend out Book 1 to Friend A, you can't ever lend out Book 1 again.

BUT a really neat feature was the sharing of your library with up to 5 other nooks. You can all access the same books at the same time, for as long as you want!

So excited to try it out!!

Re: Kindle or Nook

I have a first generation Kindle and it works just fine. I love the wireless. I do wish I had a NOOK so that I can borrow from the library. I hate returning library books so this feature for me is great! I also think it's a snazzier device than the Kindle 1.

Re: Kindle or Nook

I have had a Nook since February. Love it. Love that you can share books with other Nook owners. Love the ease of downloading books. Thus far I do not have any complaints at all.
