I love kindle!! But why not just use the FREE app on your smartphone? I have the app on my BB and my Ipod Touch, and my Laptop. I must have like 200 books with kindle.

Never used a Kindle, but I do own a Nook and love it. The feel is something to get used to, but the e-ink screen really is just like reading off a page. Regardless of what brand, an ereader is a great thing to have for the avid reader.

Wife gave me one for my deployment. Best predeployment gift ever! I love being able to carry ALL my books with me. And being able to download stuff from anywhere (well, nost places) on the planet is a huge plus for me. The only con I can think of is the light. The model I have dosent have any of the fancy covers with the light built in, and mine is kinda bulky/akward. Make sure you keep this in mind when looking for accesories.

How are they in the dark? Back lit screen?

Nope, its just like having a book, some of them have cases available with built in lights I think.

me and the wife both have one, she has the 3rd gen, and she gave me her 2nd gen. We both love it. I have a subscription to a newspaper I get on it every morning that I like to read while drinking my coffee (and having a morning smoke of course)

I too have the Nook. My wife did a lot of research and Nook seemed to have a better selections of books being backed by Barnes and Noble. I love. My Nook. I take it pretty much everywhere I go.
