    I have had a Nook, The Nook is easier to navigate, and is more user friendly. However, the Kindle has a wider selection of titles, but needs to have a list of new titles for each week. The Kindle claims to hold a charge for a longer period, but with usage, they seem to be equivalent.

    It had to take a device like this to break me away from holding an actual book. I held out for a long time (been voraciously reading since my late teens & I'm 73 now), never being convinced about the early iterations of the Kindle, but my sister-in-law convinced me to try this and now it's the only way I'll read a book. Great product ((although I wouldn't mind the screen being just a little bigger).
