Device: Kindle, the original! Times Two! and gifting an International Kindle
from a Kindle owner who almost got swiggered by the nook, this is what you need to know (the truth behind the lures);

wireless-afaik this is only in the store right now, due to be expanded later. Kindle of course has whispernet which will work anywhere in the US with their pretty comprehensive coverage, and now the K2 is indeed an international device. the wireless can work in many countries, you need to check at Amazon to see where it does work

lending-big nook hook... truth is one time, one person for 14 days EVER. once that book cherry is popped, no putting it back in the can.

library-I have no idea what the deal with nook is. many books can be read by the Kindle after running through calibre

the bottom flash gee whiz bang it's in color!!!! wheeee! on the nook-yeah whoopdeedo. it's just the book covers and it uses extra battery when on. as far as that almost as useless as tits on a boarhog keyboard on the kindle... well sometimes you do get a wild hair and go online just 'cuz, or maybe to order a book! all the rest of the time you use it as an area to rest your thumb and wonder how all the other devices deal with the thumb prints on the bottom third of the screen.

that's all I got for now
