e-reader question

I know there's been a million posts about this, but I don't read them. My mom wants to get one and I'll get her a gift card for x-mas for the bulk of the cost. She's trying to decide between the nook & kindle. Can you just give me the quick and dirty as far as free books are concerned?

She reads ALOT so free is important. I just looked up the local library's website and it looks like the kindle is not compatible - is this typical?

Re: e-reader question

  • At this time Kindle is not natively compatible with any libraries. Completely free books fall into one of 3 categories. 1. Classics - Nook and Kindle will have similar selections. 2. Self-published. Frequently these are crap. I have no idea if Nook and Kindle have the same selections. 3. Library books provided through Overdrive. Nook can read them natively.

  • I want a Nook based on the whole free library-ebook thing.  Free is awesome.  :-)

  • Sweet, thanks Mod. Looks like the nook might be the way to go for her.

  • I bought my mom a Nook for x'mas b/c of the whole "can read the free library books" issue.  I will be utterly shocked if she can learn to properly operate it and upload books onto it.
