I guess I don't understand your Kindle and nook comparisons. Kindle shuts down after 5 minutes on it's own, is ready to read again in under a second. I share books forever with the Kindle, not just two weeks. My wife and I each have one and just sync them up and we have all the books either has bought. Kindle has 1000's of free books. Kindle works on my home in VA and in TV on the wireless network. Also has the 3G so can connect anywhere. Your probably right about the battery, never have had to change it and have had it over a year now. And as for the number of books available, it seems limitless from Amazon. One downside to Kindle, maybe the nook as well, is that if you leave the wireless on, the battery only lasts about 6-8 hours. Turn it off and I charge about every two weeks and use it an hour or more every day.

I am sure both are great products, just didn't want wrong information shared.
