Kindle Or Nook
Does anyone have any strong opinions or facts on these eReaders? I am half-tempted to get one, and was focusing on Amazon's Kindle until recently someone had some great info on Barnes and Noble's Nook.
My biggest questions/concerns:
-Are buying books for it extremely cost-effective compared to the hard-version of a book?
-Are there ways to "borrow" a book for a short period of time, as I get most of my novels from the library? (And I know that really old books are usually free.)
-Are text-books available? While I could not resell them after the semester is over, if the price is significant enough then it might be worth it.
("Cost-effective" not including the actual price of the eReader. I'm inclined to put this on my Christmas list, though I still want to know about text-books especially if that will help me.)
I have played around with a Kindle twice and really like it, as far as reading a standard book goes. The size and weight is really a turn-on too. I know that it also has a wifi browser (and for more money could access some phone company's 3G network, not that I want that). I feel like taking advantage of its capabilities, being someone that likes technology, but the price and principles could make me stick to actual books for now until it really suits my needs.
