The Kindle's dictionary is a lot easier to use than the Nook's. With the nook you have to go through several menu options to make highlights and notes, and the Nook's dictionary takes you out of the book, as opposed to the Kindle's little two line summary on the bottom of the page. Also, I've heard that the Nook's dictionary can't find words so often because of the tense, like if the word is Combusted, it won't find it in the dictionary because it won't look for Combust. This might have changed in one of the last few softwre updates though.

The Nook and Kindle's speed while reading should be about even, but doing anything else, looking up words in the dictionary, making notes/highlights and even FINDING those notes and highlights takes a lot longer on the Nook due to the interface: Nook: (A>a1>a3>B2=Make a highlight) Kindle (A>B=Make a Higjlight). I definitely prefer my Kindles. With the Kindle, making notes and bookmarks is a breeze. On the nook, I found it a chore- I found myself just not wanting to bother.

Even with the nook updates, the fact that the e-ink screen is always playing catch up to the small LCD on the bottom is something that I had to really fight to ignore.

Also, if you call Amazon, they will give you a seventy dollar refund on the price difference for the Kindle you bought last week.

Hope this helped!
