Re: Kindle vs Nook?

[Mike Wills <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am going Kindle. Yes, lack of ePub is a minus, however, Kindle has/will have an API for apps. It would not be difficult to create an ePub app after that. The other option is an iPad, then format/store no longer matters (of course at 3x the price).

My wife has a Nook now and likes it. The battery life is good. Plus we don't read the same type of books and I figured that way we can get a book on the other store if the primary store doesn't have it.
