My Choice

Considering the basic purpose of an eBook reader my selection is Kindle 3. Kindle 3 is smaller, thinner and lighter with great variation that gives book-page like sense while reading. This will ensure great sense while reading long-form along with the advantage of longer battery life. Nook is stylish and trendy with the touch screen Lcd and there are some cool features like lending books and sharing Epub formatted books which are not available with Kindle. However, how many of us would indubitably lend books and share files with others in the long run? I even find the captivating Lcd touch screen of Nook distracting while reading and it has a negative impact on the battery life.
