I actually don't have either a Kindle or a Nook, but I do read on my Android phone and my PC. I have been reading on PDAs and phones for years. I started on a Sharp, then went to a Palm and Peanut Press. Then I downloaded eReader.com's software and found I liked it very much. Since then I have on my PC and have used Kindle for OC, Nook for PC, eReader for PC, Kobo for PC and FBReader. Of these, I actually like the eReader software the best.

It turns out that Fictionwise bought eReader.com, then B&N bought Fictionwise. The first Nook, as I understand, could read eReader.com books.

Soon, I'm going to break down and buy a dedicated ereader. I figured I'd get me a Nook Simple Touch or Second Edition (whatever they call it). After emailing several times and calling 3 times, I find that B&N is no longer recognizing eReader books. They won't even convert my eReader format books to ePub so I can use them on a Nook. I thought I was going to have all my books, past, present & future on one reader. No such luck. I'll have to buy them again if I want them on a new reader. One of their managers told me that they let eReader operate as a separate entity. That sort of makes me more than a little put out at B&N.

I have bought many books and electronics from Amazon, and their customer service is excellent, so it looks like a Kindle in my future.
