I may be wrong, but I don't think it matters if you order a K3 now or later. I believe it is backordered for a while. I think last I heard it was sometime in October, so it's not too far off. Maybe somebody that ordered one more recently can tell you.

I liked the Nook better than the Kindle 2, but I think I would like the new Kindle. I would still choose the Nook right now because I can get my library books on it and I can buy from more places. Mind you I could strip the DRM on the Kindle files, but I don't want to bother.

I really love the touch screen on the Nook. I thought I wouldn't like the way it was set up, but I found it surprisingly easy to use. I really love to look at my physical books, so being able to see my bookcovers in colour while searching is important to me. I don't think the average person cares about that though. I can also share my books with other Nook users with the lend me system, but it is pretty limited right now. If it is a family member or very close friend you can share your books and just add in the credit card # of the account it was ordered under. That might work out since her friend has a Nook as well.

They are both good devices, and a lot of it is a personal preference. she will probably love whichever you decide to give her.
