I'm trying to decide on getting a Nook or a Kindle.

Does anyone have opinions on either of them?

Thanks

    Honestly, they have practically the exact same features. Minus the nook has a touch screen bottom and the kindle has a keyboard.

    I picked the Nook simply because I love barnes and noble and I did not like the keyboard on the Kindle.

    I just preordered the Kindle fire for my 10 year old daughter. It's in color with a touch screen. The only thing I can see that it doesn't have that an Ipad does is a camera feature.

    FYI Kindles now come with touch screens and not the keyboard or the touch "pad" at the bottom.

    I tried to help my aunt with her Nook.. such a piece of crap.

    I say stick to physical books.

    Which model of Kindle are you looking at?

    I have the Nook. I "enabled" it to use all the Android features that were locked out and I use it like a tablet. I don't like it at all as an e-book reader. So I ordered the new $79 Kindle and LOVE the e-ink. So much better for reading.

    So...for me...they both have their place :)

    KINDLE! But I'm a bit biased ;)
    BUT in all honestly, I just like the kindle because I wanted a keyboard. So if you like touch screen, go for the nook!

    I say that too. I refuse to ever get either.

    Unless you got the Nook color, the regular Nook uses e-ink as well.

    I literally tried to turn the page the other day when i was reading because i was so engrossed and it seems so much like a real book.

    I have had the kindle for about a year and I love it. It is so user friendly and their customer service is the best. Lots of free and low cost books to choose from on their website.
    I would definately recommend it over the nook. No backlight to strain your eyes. If you get one, you will not be sorry.

    They're both great.

    I love the Nook because they have one free book every Friday, in addition to the huge free library they have all the time. I also like the touch screen. My mom hates the touch screen, so she prefers her Kindle. Potato, potato. The only downside to the buttons on the Kindle is that the letters rub off fairly quickly. My mom's keyboard is already almost blank and she's had to write several of the letters back on with a marker.

    Good call! I forgot about the e-ink Nook! Thanks for clarifying.

    Yeah, seems a few people are confusing the Nook color with the E-ink Nook.

    Nook color is crap and i don't know why anyone would get one if they actually wanted to read books..so bad for your eyes!

    I have a kindle and I love it! I also have a Kindle Fire on the way.

    I don't know much about the nook but the kindle as "The Kindle daily deal" which is a different ebook everyday for only $1.99, most of the time.
