Go for the Kindle. It's shipping. It reads Mobipocket format (although you might need to remove DRM)

The main advantage of the nook is the fancy display under the main eInk display. I don't see that as a very big advantage. IMO it's just one more thing to go wrong. eReaders are already pretty fragile.

The things I want to do are download books from my library (may are in mobepocket format) and put them on the reader to travel with. Buy new books. Read newspapers. Hope that more magazines become available in the future.

Any and all suggustions, comments would be great.

Thanks
