Nook vs. Kindle

I had the original Nook Color when it first came out. It worked fine but then I got an iPad and started using that instead. I DLed both the Nook and Kindle apps, but found there were more free/cheap books for the Kindle so started using that exclusively. Eventually reading in bed with the iPad became a pain bc its larger than I'd like an e-reader to be, and I couldnt stand the glare when reading outside. So I purchased the cheapest kindle available - I think I paid $69 for it. It has wifi but no 3/4g. I cant do anything but purchase and read books, but it is by far my favorite. It's small, light weight, and perfect for traveling, which I do a lot for work.

Basically, I think it comes down to how are you going to use it, and what are your basic needs for it.
