Re: Kindle vs Nook?

The more expensive models has free 3G access. Amazon and Barnes and Nobel
have deals (with I think AT&T) to give us free access. Really, all you can
do on the Nook is browse and download books. I am sure the cost of doing
that is build into their take of the books. I thought I seen that you can
browse the internet with the Kindle on 3G, but I can't say for sure.

Are their carrier fees with these things or can you use a home wireless

My wife book me a Nook, and I really like it as well. The only complaint I
have is the screen is not quite large enough for a full page from a printed
book so the page numbers sometimes get a bit confusing.
That may be a bit of a vote for a Kindle, but the difference in price was
sufficient to push her off to the Nook.

Either way I don't think you can go wrong.

Hello Tom,

My wife and i use the kindle and yes, you can get magazines,
news papers and blogs on the kindle... We really like it - it
seems to be kinder on the eyes than back-lit readers.
