A Nook is a rational choice, right?
I don't know. Why are you leaning towards a Nook over a Kindle?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Because I don't shop from Amazon.

I think a Nook is a rational choice. It also has the advantage of supporting Adobe Digital Editions which greatly increases your chances of being able to check out E-Books from the library.

Makes sense.
Can a Nook be used as a web browser like a Kindle can?
Also, the Kindle has a physical qwerty keyboard while the Nook has a touchscreen keyboard, if that makes a difference.

It can be used for browsing too. I think the Nook is based on Android.

Ooh, that's hot.
Yeah, I think when you're connected via Wi Fi you can surf the web.

I should have a look at the LAPL site and see if that works out for me...hmm...

Here's a Nook feature I didn't know:
Plus, NOOK automatically connects for free in AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots and all Barnes & Noble stores.
ION, I think this will be my x-mas present to myself: [link]
It's an improved MakerBot 3-D printer. It will be available in Nov.

I resent the AT&T part of things, but at least I'm not paying them ongoing.
Okay, Nooking up! I think this is the only way to get me to read more books, because it's a simple easy way for me to be able to take them to the ER, where I spend a good chunk of sitting around must stay awake time.

ita, you might want to try books on tape (e.g. audible) as well. I think the Nook and Kindle have ways of listening to audiobooks on the devices.
