Kindle2 -vs- Nook

[Archer]

I am going to be purchasing one of these and I would love the input of the group.. I need to hear from those who own one or the other as to help me better decide which one to purchase.

1. What's your favorite feature on the Kindle2 or Nook?
2. How easy is it to buy the books.
3. Can you buy the books from any store for either e-reader?

Any information would be appreciated.

I own a Kindle 2 and love it. As to your questions:

1. I know that I don't use my K2 to its fullest potential so I'm not a good one to answer this. I download books and read them. Period. I know it has a dictionary, bookmarks, notes, etc., but I never use those features.

2. It is SO easy to buy a book. Almost too easy. Haha! You just turn your wireless on, type in the book you want and click purchase. You can even buy a book on your computer at Amazon and the next time you use your K2, it will download. It's SUPER easy.

3. I've read about people downloading e-books to their computer, using some kind of program to convert the file to K2's format and then downloading it onto the K2. I haven't done anything like that. I just purchase all my books from Amazon since it's so easy.

There are some Kindle groups on here and there is also a message board at kindleboards.com to help you. Good luck in your research!
