Barnes And Noble Nook pricing

Which E-Reader is better?

I’m looking for personal opinions as I’ve been researching these myself. I am looking to buy an e-reader as a gift for myself, Merry Christmas to me!!! I’m trying to decide between Amazon’s Kindle 2, or Barnes and Noble’s Nook.
They are equal in price so price is not a factor.

thank you! :)
Also the matter of the kindle having internet capabilities doesn’t really push it over the nook as I have a blackberry too.

I own the Kindle 2, so let me give you some of my opinions. I’ve to say I love it! I think I’ve read over 30 books with my Kindle, no glitches so far!

I like reading and at the beginning I did miss a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books… Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don’t feel tired… And I now prefer to manage all books inside the Kindle rather than my never big enough bookshelf… And like to do bookmarking, annotation, dictionary lookup without any additional thing but a Kindle.

One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I have the Kindle, waiting time like when I’m waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can “read” books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I’ve myself busy on some boring things, say when I’m on the step machine or doing some housework…

Yes, there are quite a lot of free books, and many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it:

Finally, guess you know, Amazon has just put a price slash on the Kindle 2, and it is now selling $100 cheaper than the price I got my Kindle, and it adds in international wireless access… So take the chance if you want it.

Hope it helps :)
