I have a Kindle, which I love (the keyboard model in black & white) and I was considering purchasing a Nook Color. Has anyone used both Kindles and Nooks? Which do you prefer? What features on either one can you not live without? Are there as many ebook deals on Nook as on Kindle?

This really doesn't fit this category, but I can't find a place to ask this question. My daughter and I are working on a manuscript which has to have sources cited. Some of the sources are e-books in which there are no page numbers listed, just locations. How on earth do you cite locations, or is there a way to convert to pages? (We also have this question in to the publisher, but no response so far.)

(I've only used it to get an approximate location back before Goodreads added the ability to note book progress by percentage.) If I find something more definite, I'll update here. :)
Regarding citing ebook locations: I just searched in Google for "how to cite a Kindle location", and several promising links came up, including ones from APA and MLA:

most major cituation formats - APA etc have methods for citing locations...it is essentially, (kindle ed., locations xx-xx)
Thanks. I'm not sure how much of a difference this would make, but the publisher uses Turabian for citing.
pretty sure Turabain has it as well - the first reference format at the top of page 4 here is for kindle - http://www.bethanyseminary.edu/sites/...IIRC Turabain was the first out of all the citation styles to do it
