I am a college student, and I am looking to get a reader to hopefully download textbooks (if they are available) so that way I don't have to lug around so many at school. I have enough back problems as it is, carrying around 3 big ol hard bound text books isn't helping.

I was looking at the Nook and the Kindle. Amazon has a few of the books I am currently using (not sure what I need for next term yet), where as B&N has no ebook text books that I can fine.

I have read that it is possible to convert Amazon's Kindle formatted books into a format that the Nook can read, though.

I will need to be able to highlight, make notes, dog-ear, etc.

Anyone have any advice between the two? Or something better, maybe?

Thanks.
