I still kind of want an eReader and am still trying to decide between the Kindle and the Nook.

I have both apps for my iPod touch. I have bought ONE ebook from the Kindle store (just a little travel ebook for a specific location). I have downloaded a lot of free ebooks from the Nook store (when they had the free classics offer July 4th weekend, for example, I downloaded several).

I also buy audible.com audio books. Currently, I listen to them on my iPod touch. Kindle has support for them, Nook does not.

Nook has a easily replaceable battery in case of permanent battery death. Kindle I read you have to send it in (yes, supposedly you CAN replace the battery yourself, but I am not that technology advanced and not sure if I could trust myself to be able to do this, plus, I'd be afraid of damaging the device).

Can you see my dilemma?
