I searched but couldn't find a thread about this.
I've been thinking more and more about getting a Kindle. My fiance has one and I read one of the Dresden Files books on there and loved it. The e-ink is really just like paper and found the whole experience simple and easy.
Yesterday I played around with the Nook Color in B&N and was really blown away. Vibrant screen, touch interface was responsive plus it can do email internet if you need it to. I've never wanted an iPad before (tried it and was not impressed) but the Nook Color seems to do the bare necessities that I would need to do without opening my laptop. Plus, using Calibre from what I've read, I could put all DRM free books that my fiance has, on the Nook if i'm not mistaken.
My only worry is battery life. I know that the Kindle's battery lasts a while, especially if you keep the WIFI off. What about the Nook Color? I'd be using it everyday on my train ride to/from work.
I know that Amazon is coming out with a tablet next month. From what i've read, it's pretty much like the Nook Color so who knows, my choices might switch between Amazon Kindle Tablet and Amazon Kindle. Just looking for everyone's thoughts on each!
Thanks!
