I love my kindle but I've heard very good things about Nook also - I bought Kindle only cause I'm in the middle of nowhere as is - so it made no difference if I needed help or not - not a close B&N near me either... but, I've gotten many hours of relaxation reading from it - and since nothing is close, neither is a library - but we have wifi/internet - so Kindle worked for me... Enjoy - what ever you get.. it's worth every penny -
