Thoughts about the Kindle v. Nook (I own a kindle, and played with a nook)

Even:
- The eInk technology is the same. Not backlit, get a "minor" flash

Pro Nook:
- It's got a touchscreen to flip through (but it didn't work very good, and the processor was quite slow)
- Expansion slot
- WiFi

Pro Kindle:
- The navigation is much much easier and straight-forward
- Whispersync is flawless in the US (and $2 flawless International)
- I can use the experimental browser over Whispernet free worldwide (gmail and facebook, yes)
- Better battery life

I wouldn't get the nook because of the touch-screen. It feels weird having a device with two different screen types, and the navigation of the Nook is laggy, especially with the touchpad.

Hopefully, the next steps for the Kindle are:

- Backlight
- Color text
- Zoom for PDFs
- WiFi/expansion slot
