The plus about the Kindle for me is that you DO have to have the light on - it's NOT backlit.
The black and white Nook isn't backlit either. It's e-ink too.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love the Nook 2 - it's so elegant and sleek. But if I were going to buy a new e-reader I'd probably stick with Kindle because that's where my books are.

I love my kindle for reading, but I keep thinking I might want a nook color for magazines. I have too many stacks of them everywhere. You probably can't print up a recipe off of a nook though, can you?

You can print off an iPad - does Android support wireless printing?

One of the brilliant things about a Nook or a tablet is avoiding the printing of recipes. I used to "lug" my laptop into the kitchen, but no more!
How have I not worked out if I can print from either my tablet or my Nook? Slacker.

I do bring my iPad into the kitchen with me, but nervously. I need to get a waterproof case for it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I use a gallon-sized ziploc bag with my iPad. The touch screen is still usable with it on.

Dan and I bought a color nook a few weeks ago as a mutal bday present, and it's fucking awesome.
Yes, the battery life is about 8 hours, but it charges really quickly, and if you have kids, the interactive books are cool as hell, and the color looks better than on a iPad.
We bought it mainly to be an e-reader, and because I already had 140 books on my PC Nook, but I am REALLY glad we did. It's an excellent e-reader (it's backlit, but at night, I just dial the brightness down to the lowest level, and have not problems with eyestrain) and it's a great mini-tablet, too.
It's a little heavier than the Kindle, but I usually read with a book propped on a pillow on my belly or on a pillow lying on my side in bed, so it's a non-issue for me.
I LURVES it.

My kitchen is set up so that there's a foot or so wide section on the left of my stove that's away from all the fuss and I never do any mixing or measuring of foodstuffs there. It's where the recipe lives whether it's book or electronic.
