That's completely wrong. You can drag and drop books from your computer onto a Kindle just the same as you can with any external USB drive. If you use Calibre, it's even easier and can be done with a click of a button.

Can't really help with which is better for you, as I don't know anything about the Nook. Neither is great with PDF format (the Kindle Touch doesn't have landscape mode, although the Kindle Non Touch version does). However, if you prefer to use the epub format, then the Nook obviously, though if you are happy to use Calibre to convert, perhaps it's worth looking at how much the kind of books you like cost at the relevant stores to help you decide which would be better to buy?
