There isn't much price difference between kindle and nook. From what I've read so far
1. cost is almost the same
2. nook can play video, is touch screen, runs on android while kindle doesn't
3. kindle is faster than nook
4. kindle keyboard is ugly (I actually saw my colleague using it, it does look ugly, but it was previous gen kindle, may be the new one is better)
5. nook can expand upto 16 GB, kindle is fixed at 2 GB
6. kindle doesn't read epub, while nook does
7. Amazon seems to have more books than nook
may be it isn't worth spending too much time thinking about it (its not very expensive, like say iPad that one will regret picking the wrong hardware).

- fr0man 16y agoI tried both and have decided to go with the Kindle. My wife and I both thought the glitchy lag between page turns on the Nook was a deal breaker. It was far less noticeable on the Kindle, and we haven't even gotten our new gen Kindles yet. Also, the UI was slicker on the Kindle (in my opinion). You'd think a touch screen would be better, but it's slow, laggy, and glitchy compared to the Kindle interface. Still, I liked both of them and the differences between them were very slight. It really came down to that page turn lag for us.
