    Hi Landon, several points are needed to be stressed out here. First, I would only recommend a touch screen device as when you read a physical book you just flip the pages and not pressing buttons. Also, no point in getting 3G Kindle now as they limit what web sites you can access (only Amazon store and Wikipedia are allowed.) Then, E-Ink Nook Simple Touch from Barnes & Noble at $99 (without ads) has twice the battery life of Kindle ($139 without ads), faster page turns than Kindle, and microSD card slot to expand capacity that neither Kindle has. With Nook you can checkout eBooks from public libraries - just need to get Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) software (free from Adobe site). Also it's worth mentioning that if you walk in with any Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you'll get tech support and you’re allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi where Nook eBook store has over 2.5 million of paid books and about the same number of free public domain books. Nook already has Cloud as your ebooks are stored in your online library as well as downloaded to your device. Nook Simple Touch actually has a hidden web browser - just press the virtual "Search" button at the bottom of your Nook's screen and key a URL into the search bar when it comes up. According to Consumer Reports, CNET, PCWORLD, etc. pro reviews Nook Simple Touch is the best ereader on the market.

    To complete the destruction, Kindle does NOT have better selection of books, that's a myth. Nook eBook store has over 2.5 million of paid books and about the same number of free public domain books (more that Kindle 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, Kmart, Sears etc. stores and web sites.

    One thing to keep in mind is that the Nook Simple Touch won't play audio and the Kindle 3 will. If you want to listen to audio files, the Kindle is better.

    Si quieres comprar un Kindle siempre es la mejor opción comprarlo en Amazon porque tienen una excelente oferta como se puede ver en este link http://amzn.to/1GkMRUw

    Me gusta estos dispositivos y no es el primero y seguro no va a hacer el ultimo que compro de Amazon, hace una semana me he comprado un Kindle perfecto, no me cansa la vista, se lee muy bien sin reflejos de luz y he podido acabar un libro sin que se acabe la batería antes, excelente compra.
