[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1379362, member: 239"] True but reading off of an LCD screen is much more strain on the eyes than reading off of the electronic ink screens that the likes of Nook and Kindle use. There really is a significant difference. In addition the aps that amazon and B&N are hyping aren't that great. Hard to navigate, simple readers - at least the PC ones anyway. They don't have near the ability to navigate, search, buy that the actual Nook or Kindle has. FWIW - I've got a nook. I've seen and played with the Kindle. IMO the nook is a better deal because: 1) battery is user replaceable. Battery goes south on a kindle you'll have to send it to Amazon and pay $65 to have it replaced. 2) Nook memory is upgradeable. Kindle is not. Other than that I haven't found a rat's behind's difference between the two. [/QUOTE]
