Friend has an IPad. I would enjoy reading on it. But am not sure if the back lighting would hurt my eyes after awhile. Also, the Ipad is too big to put in my purse. I like the smaller size of the Nook or Kindle for carrying around.

It is nice having the Barnes and Noble right here. Any questions--they will help you.

In other words, I'd be happy with either the Nook or Kindle. I know I'd enjoy the IPad, but not sure of the larger size, heavier weight or backlighting.
I agree about the backlighting. It's hard on the eyes after a while. I don't know if I could read from an iPad for an hour.
