    Hey, Ask, you can share your ebook library between Kindle devices and Kindle apps the same as Barnes & Nobles' ebook library can be shared between Nook devices and Nook app (available for PC, MAC, Android phones, Apple iPhone, iPod and iPad, etc.).

    About an eReader to buy - Kindle Touch ($139 without ads) or Nook Simpletouch ($99 without ads) are e-Ink devices for reading and not video/web/apps. Ads-supported Kindle models show full page ads to you (and everyone around you) every time they go to sleep mode and also show 2 line ads right there at your home screen - so annoying that Amazon even released a software that for $30 can convert ad-supported Kindle into non-ad-supported one. Non-touch screen Kindle models are such basic stone age devices (with page turn lag, buttons, and black blinks/flashes on each page turn) that I would not even speak about them. Nook (unlike Kindle) supports eBooks in ePub format that is the universal format most used in the world. Current e-Ink Nook Simpletouch has the latest generation touch screen display, no page turn lag, it weights less, its battery lasts twice as long (two months on one charge), it has microSD slot and it doesn't blink on each page turn - much better than current Kindle 3 or Kindle Keyboard. Nook Touch is still better designed than even the new Kindle Touch with battery lasting two months with ONE hour reading a day with Wi-Fi off thus it's still twice as long as new Kindle's two months with HALF and hour a day with Wi-Fi off. It looks like Kindle didn't get any battery improvement in the new model, they only changed the test condition. More, Kindle Touch still flashes black on each page turn while Nook Touch reduces the flashing by 80%. Nook Touch and Nook Color (unlike Kindle) have microSD card slot to take a card (class 6 or above) up to 32 GB.

    Also, If you walk in with the Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you’re allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi and you get free technical support in case of issues in any of the store.

    You can buy Nook’s at Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Millon, Walmart, BestBuy, Staples, OfficeMax, Fred Mayer, P.C. Richard, Radio Shack, Target, Fry's, etc. stores and web sites.

    Correction- mutually as Calibre will convert documents to a format Kindle can use, it won't convert documents offered from Amazon specifically for the Kindle to different formats. Amazon places a secure practices on those documents and Calibre won't/ can not convert them. i know... i've got tried.

    Amazon keeps track of your purchases and allows you to access them from Kindles or any device on which the Kindle app runs. You'll even be able to share bookmarks and annotations across devices. Just log in to your Amazon account from the new device, and your ebooks will be there for you.
