just watched your comments about book vs. kindle. You neglected to mention that nook has a user-replaceable battery ($30.) while Amazon charges $65. to replace battery & Kindle has to be mailed to them & a new Kindle is sent back. Also, you failed to mention that with nook you can buy books from other sources & also check out books from Public Libraries. These features are very important & in fairness should be made known. Also, can add a microSD card to double capacity which I did.
