[PG4003]

I've been a Kindle owner since January of this year, and I just bought a Nook WiFi about 2 weeks ago. These devices are so similar, and I would recommend either one of them to anybody. Personally, I feel the Kindle is just a better product, so I'm a little biased toward my Kindle. I'm having a hard time adjusting to the touch screen portion of the Nook, it's different. But I love the Nook because I can borrow library books for free from my public library. Both the Kindle and the Nook have features that are better on one device than the other, but overall, as far as my experience goes, I would recommend either one of them. The 3G is not that important to me. I feel like for the $149 I paid for my Nook, I got a good deal (although they will probably be $100 by Christmas!).

ETA: One thing I've noticed is that the Kindle seems to have a tight-knit "community" around their product. Kindle owners (on forums) keep one another updated as far as free books, and tips/troubleshooting items on the Kindle. I participate in a Nook forum but I don't find it to be as much of a community as the Kindle forum. Could possibly be because the Nook hasn't been around as long.
