If you read in bed you might want to get one of the little lights that attached to the cover, you will need good light to see at night, just as a book. It's great! I hear the Nook is a good one too! Not sure how well it is in bright light though.

I have a nook and a Kindle. I like the Nook because it has a backlight so you can read it better.It is heavier than the Kindle and you have to be within a internet connection to download books. It also is a touch screen and the screen gets fingerprints real easy. You have to clean it alot.

We do not live near a Barnes & Noble, but I think purchased the screen saver with mine. I will have to look and see if I can find them.
Also are the new apps they advertise availabe for a Nook I bought back in Dec. or have they changed the Nook so they don't work?

Thanks
There was an upgrade in April and thats when the apps all became available. There were some problems w/the upgrade at first but I think they have those issues all worked out. It was a pain for about a week but then they had to give me a brand new one in the end. I enjoy the apps. I'll look today to get you the right path but on BN web site there is a forum and you can ask questions and read other things people post; like on here. They have one for each of the Nooks. I'll let you know when I find the link; it normally takes me awhile to find it and now that they have changed the site maybe a little longer. If you cant find the screen savers you can order them on line. I'll get back to you.

We bought my mom a Pandigital recently. it's made by Kindle but it has a colour screen and does more then just e-reader functions and it was cheaper the the other e-readers. She takes it with them on trips so she has her books but she can also check in with emails.
