Navigating around the Nook is a real pain because you are constantly switching between a 4 line touchscreen and a eink display. I love how I can choose the folder organization for my ebooks and it works with just about any format out there. I could care less about wifi or 3g on a dedicated ereader because how often do I really need to randomly download a book while I am away from my computer. EZ Reader has an SD card and user replaceable battery and the Kindle does not and I am not sure about the Nook. I wouldn't trade my EZ Reader for either the Kindle or Nook. Keep up the great work Robert B and Astak. I support and will continue to support Astak because they make a superior product, at a competitive price and provide solid customer service!
An unsolicited piece of advice. You and your wife should keep in mind that if you both have the same device it works the same and gets the same updates so you can use each other's device easily. Also this simplifies things and saves time if one of you does most of the technical support & maintenance. My husband and I have followed this pattern for several years now and regret it if we choose different things than the other person. We have the same model cell phone, mp3 player, etc. but in different colors or cases to tell the difference. We also have two cats so we don't have to try sharing just one, which would be impossible since we are both cat people. Having two of the same also somewhat prevents "but I like yours better" arguments. I hope this may help your decision making process.
