Anyway, some of the things I really like is: lighter, thinner; easy to use; page turning is quicker than the nook; wider range of books Amazon just has more; better PDF support; text to speech; battery life (1 month as compared to 10 days w/nook). I'm sure I'll discover more to love, but that's what I came up with. Before getting my kindle, though, I read a LOT of reviews from techno geeks that were very helpful. Whatever your choice, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I too would never have thought that I'd be using an electronic device instead of a real book.
Hi dfn8ly,
BeeGee summed up my thoughts. In addition, the current Kindle has a sharper screen, and I like the navigation on the Kindle better.

I've loved to read books all my life. I think you will be pleasantly surprised that, at least at our 55+ age, the e-readers are easier on the eyes than many printed books that with smallish type and average-quality paper.

Enjoy!
