Seems there could be more done with it
Things I enjoy:
I like the ability to go to B&N for the special offers but I don't really do it that often so I could live without it.
It seems to accept calibre conversions very well (formatting is much better than my Sony used to be)
The reasons I want a Kindle 3G:
The Kindle seems to be a better device (I've never used one but I'm going from what I've read)
Quicker page turning
Questions:
Does the Kindle accept Calibre conversions well?
Does the battery life really excel over the nook?

Interesting.
I've always found battery life of nook benchmark.
Especially in standby. Some others run dry in 10 days, nook easily "survives" 3 weeks.
Similar for reading. I don't have the experience with the Graphite ones yet, didn't actually read on them so far.
But in standby, both Graphites seem to be far weaker than the former models. This may be due to G3 though. I've had the US models before and didn't use 3G in Germany. Now, on the international Graphites, this may be a battery hog.
I've used my German SIM in my softrooted nook though and still made 3 weeks...
Lots of people are quite enthusiastic about the Graphite units. I don't share that excitement. Contrast, due to smarter/bolder font on nook has been (significantly) better than on the former Kindles. Now the Graphites are slightly ahead. But it's far from being a quantum leap.
And: Personally, by far I prefer DX Graphite over K3. I absolutely don't like (or even hate) the tiny, flimsy 5-way-button on K3.
