Kindle v. Nook v. iPad. Decisions, decisions - the Kindle has a great screen and is out of the first generation already, but only reads Kindle books. The nook reads open format books, but books look a little more expensive, the sharing capability is very limited and the first generation bugs are still there. The iPad uses backlighting which is tiring on the eyes, but also can have color pictures. None of them are perfect for me. And besides, I always wanted to be a book-binder, so how can I move over to electronics. (Well, actually our house is so small, it really does make sense for me....)
