Well, I want you to know that a few days ago I was in B&N and a particularly knowledgeable young salesman took quite a bit of time to answer my every question about the Nook. (See my rather lengthy and early comparison of the Kindle 3 and the Nook in the "Which one should I buy?" thread at
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=27.) A shiny new Nook with the latest firmware came home with me.
I've had a few days off work with ample opportunity to play with both systems side by side and I believe I've made my decision.
New thread coming soon to let you know which I've chosen and why.
