Kindle vs Nook

I have researched them both so I have a pretty good idea of the differences. I just do not know many people IRL that have one...most are still buying books. I am going on vacation in about a month sans kids (WAHOOO) to the Carribean. Last time I brought 5books and had them read in 4 days. I LOVE the idea of not having to lug them with me. Thanks!!!

I have a kindle and I love it! I thought it would be weird reading off a screen at first but it's not at all.

I was worried about breaking it so I bought a case which I would recommend. I did hear that the cases with the clips can crack the kindle so I bought one with pockets instead. I got my kindle right before the new one came out so I didn't have as many options but I bought this one in pink.

I highly recommend it. It's compatible with their light too which I also have.

If you have any other questions let me know.

I can't comment on the Nook at all because I have never seen one; but we got DD a Kindle for Christmas. I borrowed it to read a book, and I LOVE it and totally would love one for myself. Like PP said, I thought it would be weird / awkward reading on the screen and was worried about it bothering my eyes, but it is not at all uncomfortable. Very easy to read, and I love how you just press a button for the next page. Awesome!

Same thing, I have a kindle but can't put down the nook b/c i really havent seen it. The kindle was a gift, but I think if i had to choose I would pick the kindle solely b/c you can read it outside.

I absolutely love my Kindle! I have the oldest one and it's still great and I still use it a ton. It's perfect to have in my purse when I end up waiting somewhere unexpectedly. I also love it for trips (work and personal) because I read a ton and fast. It's nice to be able to download the next book in a series instantly if I loved the first one. I have no Nook experience, though!

I have a Kindle and love it! I love the non glare screen which Nook doesn't have. The only think I like better about the Nook is you can "check out" books from the public library where you can't on a Kindle.

another kindle fan here. i can't speak to the nook but i like that the kindle screen looks very much like the page of a book - no glare or backlight. books are now "lendable" on amazon but i think you can only lend them once or for a limited period of time. there's also a pretty good selection of free books on amazon.
