Nook vs Kindle: www.wireless-reading-device.net The New Barnes & Noble Nook eReader is the most recent wireless reading device released on the market. It rivals with the Amazon Kindle ebook reader with some additional functions that the Kindle lacks.
I am leaning toward the Kindle, but i wanted some reviews! My mom said i could get either one for my birthday and i have done a lot more research on the Kindle, and so far i am liking what i am reading! BUT, i have also head that they improved the Nook and i always see it at Barnes and Noble. Which one? Thanks.
