Nook Vs. Ereader Vs. Kindle

Ereader, Nook Vs. Kindle?

Which one would be the best for me? I do not travel out of the U.S and would mostly be reading at home. I am a student but would be doing all of my school work on my laptop. As far as what i read it is mostly Sci-fiction and fantasy so the rare books some one them claim to be better than the others as being avaliable probably don't apply to me! But i do like the idea of downloading book from local libraries. Basically just want to read books with lugging my laptop around and dont always have time to make trips to the library or book store. Hope someone can help me decide with the information i provided. Thanks!

I own the Kindle 2. If you ask me to choose again now, I'll still go for the Kindle instead of the Nook, because I think the web browsing function is rather important (the Nook doesn't even have a web browser). The free internet (and now it is free international internet) plus the web browser allow me to look for information whenever I'm in need. It is really a cool feature that cannot be missed.

And indeed, the Kindle has more available books, and ebooks are cheaper on the Kindle as well (Barnes and Nobles always count in the one million free books from Google, which can also be read on the Kindle. For Sony, many users complain it is difficult to find books for it).

And I remember I read these reviews when I decided to get my Kindle:

The Nook Vs. Kindle 2

Barnes and Noble has released it's versatile and powerful ebook reader. But how does it stack up against the big-boy in the market, Kindle 2?

The Nook's Color Navigation Screen-The Nook is boasting a color navigation screen. This is a small screen below the normal display screen that is a touch screen that you navigate through your titles with. This could be seen as a better feature than the Kindle 2.

Both Have E-Ink Display Screens-Both the Nook and the Kindle 2 utilize E-Ink technology for their display screens. They both have crystal clear displays that you can see even at extreme angles and sunlight conditions.

The Nook and Google Android- Google's Android software is present in the new eReader. The Nook is banking on being able to use different applications at some point in the future on their devices. This also allows the Nook to interface with over 100 other smart devices and computers.

The Lending Feature on the Nook- The Nook allows the owner to lend out books to others that have the Barnes and Noble application on their smart device. It should be mentioned that the lending time is a maximum of 2 weeks and cannot be used by the lender when it is lent out.

The Kindle 2 doesn't allow lending of books, but the market will tell us if this is a marketable, or useful, feature or not.

Kindle 2 Has Text-to-Speech- Kindle 2's unique feature is that you can switch it to text-to-speech when you go in the car. Now you can listen to the book instead of read it.

International Coverage- The Kindle 2 is the only one that gives international coverage. Both the Nook and Kindle have wireless capabilities and 3G coverage, however only the Kindle 2 allows you to download new books and publications from other countries besides the U.S.!

So Which is Better? Nook or Kindle 2? It really is a close comparison between the two. But there are a few big differences that put the Kindle 2 on top- International coverage, text-to-speech, and the availability of the product at Amazon make it more desireable.

The Nooks are out of stock for the holiday season and the lending and color nav screen feature seem like needless (and perhaps useless) features.
