In regards to the Twilight (epub) on Amazon -- that's hilarious/sad. Amazon's definition for epub is European Publication.

In regards to the Nook. I'm with PaulGuy. I have a Kindle DX and I absolutely love it, and my Kindle 1 is gathering dust. The Nook's screen is simply too small for displaying a lot of PDFs and there are tons of free PDFs on books.google and archive.org. Plus the cost of purchased ebooks is substantially lower at Amazon. For that alone, I'd prefer the Kindle 2 over the Nook, but in my opinion the Nook isn't even in the same league as the Kindle DX.
