hmm, I'm trying to decide as well. I think I prefer the kindle and I have like $90 in amazon gift cards. I like to read but want to cut down on my book spending and I use the library a lot, which would make the nook better. Got $45 in B&N gift cards. Which is easier to use with the dl e-books from jjb's media section or does that not matter? I did hear the kindle was supposed to get public library access. It seems that this post is majority prefer kindle, but those that have the nook, love that too. Guess, either one is a good choice.
