Welcome, gordian.

Your choice is way harder than mine was a year and a half ago.

Just remember that if you order a Kindle, any kindle from Amazon you have 30 days to play with it, download books, and return it just paying shipping if you don't like it.

You can see the B&N device at the store, but if you decide you don't like it, you only have 14 days to return it........and they charge a 10% restocking fee.

You can share books with both. The Kindle can have up to 6 devices on one account, and the B&N device it looks like can share with any other Nook, but the books shared "close" within 14 days....much like your library. Also, you cannot read the book you've shared while its 'on loan'. You can also share with some phone devices.

Here is the "faq" page for more answers.

Here is the amazon page for the video and answers.

Obviously,. these aren't the only e-book readers on the market, but its a start. Good luck with your choice.
