Since I'm not buying a Kindle, and I don't want an iPad's extra stuff, it's pretty much Nook or offbrand. The Nook will have to do something extra-surprising over the next couple weeks to go back.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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

Yay, ita! I hope it makes your ER visits a little easier.
I've never seen a Nook up close. My Kindle was a birthday gift.

Coding and Sleeping
I'm a weirdo and have a Sony PRS-600, I haven't used it for a purchased book yet. Just for looking over and editing my and other people's stuff, and library books. The ability to take notes with a stylus was the big selling point for me. For just reading, the Sony e-Readers just don't seem competitive to me anymore.

It was so nice not to be loaded down with books and magazines for the cross-country flight. New Yorker and San Francisco Chronicle are both delivered to my Kindle as well.

It's so freaking small! And the current book I'm reading is Kushiel's Dart--I don't necessarily need to have that cover evident everywhere, especially near work. I would totally buy an e-version so I could read my S&M-lite on the down low.
But first I think I will go with the Hunger Games books. And that Last Unicorn stuff. Reading books on the phone just wasn't hacking it, although it's fine for websurfing.

ita, the Hunger Games books are what got me through the flights!! CRACK! And perfect ebook reading. I gotta admit, I love that what I am reading being hidden really appeals to me.

oh that is interesting.
I have a Kindle and I like the ability to port long articles from Instapaper to the kindle. I believe there is Nook functionality for this as well.

My iPad is probably the main thing that kept me from going completely crazy during my three weeks in the hospital.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
14-Inch Kno Tablet for Students Says Size Matters
Kno launched the single screen tablet on Monday. In June, it showed off a dual-screen device that would have two 14-inch LCD touchscreens that fold in like a book. Both the single screen and dual-screen tablets are expected to start shipping at the end of the year. There’s no word yet on pricing.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
ita (and anyone else with a Nook), if you'd like me to lend you what books I have (which, admittedly aren't many since I use it mostly for library books), I'll be glad to share with their "lendme" feature. I think I need your full name, and I'm sure I need your email address, though.
If you find you're running out of power after a long time in the ER, you can turn off the wifi and extend your battery life a lot.
