heheheh Different people have different needs.

I love my DXG but that is because I like reading on the bigger screen.

As for battery life, if you travel internationally, battery life becomes a great deal more important. I travelled from Washington DC to Sydney Australia with my K1 and didn't need to recharge the battery. I read for close to 16 hours without having to worry about charging the battery. This included time in airports after arriving three hours early, a 2 hour layover in San Fransisco, and 18 hours total flight time. I can't sleep on planes.

You could not do that using a Nook. The battery would not last long enough. You could by a rechargable battery and carry that with you. Then you are paying extra for a second battery, you have to charge the battery ahead of time, and you have to keep track of the battery. What a pain. I know this because I was not sure that my K1 battery would last so I did buy a rechargeable battery, charged it, and carried it with me. Thankfully I didn't need it. I love having a device that has enough battery life to not have to worry about that the next time I travel.
