i have the kindle keyboard model and really like it. i chose it over the sony models and the nook about a year ago.
earlier this week i dropped into barnes and noble and looked at their current line of ereaders. i was really impressed with the $99 model that i think is called the nook touch. the touch screen works very nicely, and the reader is much lighter than my kindle. the latest consumer reports ranks the nook touch as the best by a small margin.
if i were buying today, it would be a close call between the nook touch and the kindle keyboard. the kindle can receive content via email, while the nook cannot -- i would really miss that feature. both work with library books, at least in the great state of NC.
