Nook or Kindle can't decide?

Ok, so here it goes. I've been looking for an ebook reader and it's come down to nook or kindle. So the kindle I heard is really good and they just lowered their price! But I've had a chance to try the nook and it is wonderful! I love the tpuch at the bottom and it has a good price too! And they've been doing a lot of good updates. I just wish that you could order books outside of the country, also I wish they had more magazines. I compared some book prices online for both of em and they seem to have very similar prices. I was just wondering nook or kindle? I'd prefer it was from someone who has tried both but I'm open to all opinions! Speak your mind!!!

Guess you know, on the Nook you cannot order books outside of the U.S. On the Kindle, you can order books outside of the U.S., and you can have free elementary wireless access in many countries.

Among the ebook readers, the Amazon Kindle is the best I'll say. I recommend this article, it mentioned Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Nobles, and other ebook readers by the end of the review:

There are huge selection of free books for the Kindle as well, as you can find here:

Finally, Amazon just released a new Kindle DX with 50% better contrast and further price cut. I put the link below for you to check out yourself.

Guess it'll help you decide.

You may not have heard about the Kindle when it first released. Compared to some technologies such as the iPhone and new versions of Windows, the Kindle was a fairly quiet release. If you are an avid reader, you were probably more than a little intrigued. But intrigue grew into popularity with the release of the much-improved Kindle 2. And now with the Kindle DX, the most advanced reader on the market, Amazon has become the single most popular maker of ebook readers.

But is all this popularity well-founded or is it just hype brought on by a new piece of technology? To be fair, it is a bit of both. The Kindle is far from a perfect device and it won't be replacing the paper book just yet, but it does offer the best possible way to take your books, and lots of them, wherever you want to go. That portability is something you just cannot find with normal books. And even though the Kindle DX is big, roughly the dimensions of a sheet of paper but substantially thicker, it can bring over 3,000 books with it. You would need quite a backpack to carry a library that big with you.

The Kindle 2 may be the most popular ebook reader available, but it certainly isn't the only one. The DX, however, is really the only one of its kind available. It offers a huge screen, more storage and some cool features such as a rotating screen like the iPhone. But it also makes a huge price jump from the Kindle 2.

The price of the Kindle DX is a whooping $489. This is probably why many people, even those who think highly of the Kindle and the ebook technology, are hesitant to get a Kindle DX. It doesn't even come with any freebies like a bestseller or two, and since you would still need to purchase a good cover for it, your costs could extend well beyond the $500-mark. At the very least, couldn't Amazon just have thrown in a cover into the package?

Since the Kindle is a fairly new device, it still hasn't completely broken into the market. Although it is the most popular one, the Kindle still can't offer its internet connection service outside the country. Once the Kindle is more established, this is likely to change. For now, many people just see it as a fancy way to read books. But it wasn't so long ago that the iPod was just a fancy way to listen to music. Now, it is one of the most widely spread pieces of technology you can find. The Kindle remains revolutionary in what it offers. Eventually, it is hard to imagine that paper books will not be replaces. For now, it is still a luxury to many people, but as it discovers its territory in the marketplace, more and more homes will be losing the bookshelf and getting a Kindle.
