Jim Joe, I don't understand the e-readers. Does 'no 3-G' mean I can't read a book if there's no wifi available? Do you have to have wifi to read a book?

Also, if I have a Kindle, does that mean I have to order all my books from Amazon? If I have a Nook, I have to get all my books from Border's? Same question for the other (I can't remember what it's called) from Barnes & Noble? (Or maybe I mixed up which e-reader goes with each store...)

Can somebody explain to me how these e-readers work? I'm thinking about trying out the Nook because:
1. It's in color
2. It's cheaper than the others
3. I belong to the Borders club & get great coupons for books, but there's no Borders nearby. Nook is for Border's, right?

Thanks for any information,
Electronically Illiterate Cheap Judy
