I am shocked... shocked I tell you! :p
Yesterday... for the very first time ever... someone asked me if my Kindle...
... was a nook! Actually he asked if it was that B&N thing. I think the skin I have on my Kindle confused him (black with soft dark gray Fleur de Lis sprinkled sparsely about - men think it has something to do with the New Orleans Staints football team - silly men). He told me his wife had been using someone's Kindle for a while but they had to take it back. Now she's in to ebook readers and wants a nook. I gave him impressions based on my test in the store. I suggested that his wife do the same thing since she's used a Kindle she can make a fair comparison. I have to say I'm impressed that the word on the nook is traveling this quickly.

Why didn't you just answer "Yes"? I'm surprised too that "nook" is becoming something like a synonym for ebook reading devices. On the other hand, "kindle" is also often used in the same manner. |

I know what I would say....
Q: Is that a nook? A: No, it's better. It's a Sony. |

Hell, at least you can see the nook at a store (or the advertisement at least)

I wonder which reader will become so ubiquitous that it becomes the "iPod" of the genre-shorthand for all eBook readers.

Kindle is the generic.

Ah! Must be something new. I flagged with security when my K2 was in my luggage last time I traveled. That was back in October though.
