After playing with for 15 mins, I felt like it was Divine Intervention. LOL

I could have kicked myself for not shopping around and looking etc. The Kindle felt and looked soo antiquated compared to the nook. This was the kindle 2. After playing around with the touchscreen of the nook and then fumbling around with that stupid stubby joystick on the kindle , I was like "Man what was I thinking" and the rest as they say is history.
I can certainly see what you're saying......the diff. between the Nook Touch and Kindle 3 is just not so much for me...although, I use the Kindle browser alot, and could not abandon it. And if I got a 3g Kindle 3, which I should have, there would have been no contest. I have tried the Touch in person at B&N and it is really really cool.
