When I finally decided to get an e-reader, I found the Kindle and Nook to be equal, but what sold me was, at the time, the Nook was the one that would let you download library books. Other than that, I would have been happy with either one. If the Kindle is working on that option, then I would say either one would be a great choice.

One other plus with the Nook is that you get 3% back here on SR on any Nook book purchases. In fact, you would get back 3% back if you buy the Nook through SR.

I love my Nook!
