Here is some information about me:
* The Bible and the dictionary. My fiance and I frequently get into debates about word meanings and Biblical happenings. Which device, in your opinion, provides products which would have the most overall utility for us to settle these debates? How do these large books work on the devices?
I am absolutely torn, at the moment. I love that the Kindle seems simple, however, it seems to have poor .pdf support and no ePub support. My university library uses ePub, and I imagine that I will use that often.
On the other hand, I love the Kindle's 3G support.
So...does anyone have any advice? As I said the important things to me are: 1.) periodicals, 2.) reading experience - for hours on end, and 3.) .pdf convertability (in this order: 3 > 2 > 1).
Web browsing, etc does not matter to me at all.
THANKS!

I own an iPad, iPod Touch, nook, and Aluratek Libre Pro. Neither Kindle nor nook (color or classic) will offer a satisfactory experience with regard to Bible study and exploration. The ESV Study Bible for iPad, LOGOS for iPad, and YouVersion's Bible software, are three of my favorites.
If you have your heart set on one of those two, Kindle or nook color, I'd recommend the nook color. Primarily for the better support for pdf and epub. B&N has some aggressive plans for the nook color in 2011 and has been pushing the color far more than their classic.
