The Nook Color is a bit heavier than the kindle, but I like the interface and the touch screen better. The touch screen causes the battery life to die quickly though.
I like the Kindle because I can read outside in the sun, and it looks more like the page of a book than a screen, which is easier on my eyes.
I just wish I could transfer my books from one to the other.  |
These incompatible DRM schemes are irritating. Now I have to keep track of which books I have on the Kindle and what's on the (All New) nook. Since I already have about 200 ePub books, which sideloaded onto the nook without a hitch, I was finally able to access that whole library which includes some of my favorites.
I have trouble holding big books too. I'm finding that the nook is easier on my hands than my Kindle. It's lighter than the Kindle and a bit thicker. I need a book cover to hold both and the nook cover is smaller and lighter too. I think nook's fat, squat little shape in the book cover is the best I've found.
