I've been wanting an e-reader for a while. At first, I was waiting for color e-ink screen to read comics, but now that isn't important to me. I'm looking for a full fledged literary device.

I'm torn between a Nook Touch and Kindle 3G, or to wait and see what Kindle 4 has to offer.

I like Nook Touch because it's an Android that I can play Words with Friends on. I'm 50/50 on the touch screen. It's nice, but typing and selecting words seems like a slower process. It also just begun updating its software for fixes.

Kindle 3 seems like a more mature product. With 3G and a marginally better browser, I'm leaning very slightly in its favor. I want to be able to look up Wikipedia entries and maybe access my e-mail.

I wish I knew what fixes and features will be updated for Nook Touch. It may have the potential of beating Kindle 3 for me because of the apps it can run and its improved functionality.

A feature I would like to have is creating a vocabulary list. When looking up the definition of a word, I would like to be able to save the word in a list that notes the book and page the word came from. I'm not sure if the Kindle 3 or Nook Touch has something like this. Any help?
