Boils down to this...

I guess it boils down to this:
Kindle -
- Better interface and display (per reviews)
- Better PDF Support
- Possibly more book options through Amazon (per online resources)
- Text to Speech
- Browsing over 3G (on one that supports 3G that is)
- Audible support
- Landscape view

Nook
- Book lending
- ePub and ePub with DRM support

Unfortunately the lending and ePub is pretty high on my list, so if the Kindle supported this it would be the perfect device. With that being said I'm really starting to lean more towards the Kindle since I have a HUGE collection of PDF's and at least for DRM-free ePub files I can convert them to PDF or Mobi format and use them on the Kindle.

Maybe just maybe Kindle will add support for ePub and Lending in the future, which if they did it would be the end of the Nook... unless Nook 2 is truly amazing.

So at this point I'm probably looking at the Kindle, though it'll be a bummer not being able to take advantage of Overdrive when it comes to my area.

Also for those who use either of these devices, do I have anything incorrect or missing any thing huge?
