Do you have a Nook or a Kindle? Why?
I have a Nook because my wife got it for me as a birthday present. I would have picked the Nook anyway for the same reason my wife did which is that my sisters have Nooks.

The Kindle is incredibly handy, easy to use and so convenient for travelling.

I guess that means I'm a Kindle user if not necessarily a Kindle owner!

Same as Fran. I think if you are more of a Barnes and Noble person, then perhaps the Nook is more your choice. I read a lot of reviews before I chose the Kindle.

Amazon Kindle is so easy to use and it feels like reading a real book, with no glare. I don't have to carry a bag of a lot of books to read on campus or anywhere, but a small light device that can carry more than a thousand book. I bring it with me everywhere.
I was and still a huge fan of paper books, but with Kindle my academic life (and my life in general) became easier.

The majority of books are cheaper to purchase and there's no postage to pay.The best thing is not having to wait for a book. I order most of my paper books online (usually on amazon) and I hate waiting for them to arrive. With Kindle it arrives straight away.
