Nook Touch Light
![]() |

Kindle or Nook and why?
I cannot decide which one to buy.
Pros for Kindle:
E-Ink Technology which makes reading out in the sun easier
Amazon Books
Lighter
Much better battery life
Cheaper
Cons:
Not in color (Yes I like to see the titles of books in color)
Not a touch screen
Cannot lend E-Books
Nook:
Pros:
Touch Screen
Color Display
Lend Books
Cons:
Does not have most of the Kindles Pros
I will probably wait until the Kindle 4 comes out but I still cannot decide.
As for lending on the Nook, it's very restricted. I think it was something like loaning a book to one person for a limited time, but don't quote me on that. That question is answered here: http://best-ereaders.blogspot.com/ probably under the Nook review.
If you travel, get a Kindle. With the Nook, you have to be in the US to make your book purchases.
Touch screens have to be cleaned all the time. This is irritating when you want to read, and especially irritating on LCD screens, as dirt and finger smudges show up so well.
Kindle turns pages much faster than Nook. It's irritating when you click to turn the page and have to wait for it.
Kindle has a LOT of freebies available and conversion software for freebies that are not in Kindle format (see the blog I linked above).
Reading on the Nook Color is hard on the eyes, as it has an LCD screen. Kindle uses the top-of-the-line e-ink, Pearl. It's very easy on the eyes. Like you've said, you can read on the Kindle outdoors or indoors in suboptimal lighting (like sun coming through the window, straight at you).
Amazon has more books for purchase than B & N. A lot more! Also, if you like library books, you can use the conversion software and read them on your Kindle. (A lot of people say you can't read library books on Kindle, but this is not true.) A link to the software is available on that blog I linked above.
If you read a lot of magazines, or if you have young children who will read books with pictures, go for the Nook. Otherwise, Kindle beats Nook hands down.
