With Barnes and Noble Inc (BKS) down more than half of what it was a year ago ($9.02 vs $21.99), I have some concern about their ability to continue to support the Nook.

That's exactly why I have a Kindle. I don't think Amazon is in any danger of going out of business.

I"d still get the Nook, I can use it to get library ebooks for nothing...and other places as well that use epub format, which you can't do with the kindle.
love my nook, which was refurbished with 1 year guarantee...can't beat it. |

Some libraries, mine included, are not part of the OverDrive system. Given the present economy, they don't have the needed funds. Any non-DRM'd epub book can be easily converted by Calibre to be read on a Kindle.

Be careful. This is a 1st gen Nook. Not the Nook Color. Technology moves fast these days. Even the Nook Color is near obsolescence, although it has been hacked for Android Honeycomb. Still, I suspect that's a limited experience since it would be underpowered.

For $15 / year, I joined the Philadelphia Free Library, and really haven't had problems with getting books I want to read. I just put myself on the list for as many books I'm interested in, and usually when I finish one, another one comes up. (waiting list ranges from 5 to 15). I have 21 days to read it on the Nook, which so far, hasn't been a problem at all (I usually devour the books, lol).
But, it doesn't mean I don't use B&N, too. My family knows to give me gift cards there. Kindle or Nook, still fun, isn't it? Same with PC vs Mac (yep, I'm a Mac person, too) |

Whether a Nook, Kindle or iPad (Where you can download both Nook, Kindle and iBooks to read), you will love the ereading expeience. I especially like being able to change the font and with the iPad the background color. I like the sepia background.

Finally bit the bullet and purchased my Kindle last night from Amazon...no s/h or tax so should be "good to go" in a few days!!! I'm not technology proficient so hopefully it won't be hard to get used to. I think this will be a good thing to have for traveling since I love to read in the car or plane. Won't have to carry heavy books in the tote anymore etc. Whoo Hoo!!
I'm sure I may also read regular books now and then but with the downsizing here..purchasing them probably won't happen as often AND I'll be anxious to use the new library too. |
