However I suspect I would enjoy a Nook-e just as much. Got my Kindle this past Christmas and have since read about 65 books on it. Thought I would miss the feel and smell of paper but since Christmas I have read two paper books. I now, only read paper, if a Kindle version of a book I want to read isn't available. I think it is the concept of the e-reader, I enjoy so much, not the particular brand that I have. joe b.

My granddaughter is getting one for her 12th birthday. Her parents love how much she enjoys reading mine. They will share an account with me and we'll be able to share books. Her mom, my daughter, wants one for Christmas also! 09 Fleetwood Jamboree 31M - 'Summerhouse' Ford 6.8 L Triton V10 5spd “Light hearted I take to the open road… Healthy, free, the world before me… The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose.” - Walt Whitman 96Bounder30E • View posts America is my home!

My Droid connects easily to the Amazon website to view and buy books, and download books whereas the Kindle is limited to the satelite reception of their service provider (AT&T). You can, however, download the books to your computer then transfer the books to your Kindle by USB cable. Turning pages on the droid is effortless, and it's easier to hold than the Kindle. If I had to do it again, I'd would stick with downloading to your smartphone.
