Wow, thanks everyone! A lot of your comments were extremely helpful. I totally forgot to mention in my first post though that I did get the chance to play around with both the devices, although I've had a lot more playtime with the Nook. I'm wondering if maybe that's what's making me lean towards it slightly more. The problem with the Kindle is that whenever I see it on display (Best Buy or Target) it's always a demo unit that seems to be "locked." At first I thought I was just inept and didn't know how to use it but now I'm pretty sure it's just locked into some kind of demo mode where it shows you various screens as it advertises itself, saying things like "Millions of titles available to purchase!" or whatever, and you can't actually navigate the device yourself. I'm trying to make myself realize that I haven't really had a fair assessment of both of them because of this, and you guys definitely helped.
