I have been considering getting a Nook. My local library has Overdrive and eBooks compatible with Nook. The Kindle doesn't work with the library, apparently, hence my leaning towards Nook.

I was concerned because there were a couple of books I thought I might have to get from Amazon and I don't think you can read the Kindle books on a Nook but those appear to be available for purchase in Nook-friendly format elsewhere like Smashwords, etc. I do foresee using it more with the library.

So, I'm thinking the basic WiFi Nook that is $149. The Kindle doesn't work with the library and I'm never getting an iPad. They are a bit over the price range and I'm worried about compatibility issues with it. Is there anything else I should know? I'll probably get the Nook in the next pay period or so...
