So why am I asking about it? Originally, it was for my mom. She’s thinking about getting one or the other because she’s a member of a book club, and she’s tired of paying full prices for books she doesn’t even keep. I told her I would help her with some research and put the question out to my techno-geeks and see what would come up. As a result, I now want one.

I still prefer dead trees too, but there’s something about the potential simplicity of carrying around one device instead of several books. (By the way, if anyone suggests I get an iPad, I will smack you down.) I’m not always carrying around a book or anything, but I do travel somewhat often and lately I do go to the doctor’s office often. It would be nice to slip a slim device into my bag instead of trying to coordinate a giant book. Plus, let’s not forget that I’m a gigantic gadget-whore. Some girls shop for shoes. I buy technological wonders.

So far, I’m leaning towards the Nook due to its touch screen, memory expandibility, and the ability to share books with other Nook users. However, I still lean towards the Kindle as well just because I love everything Amazon does so, so much. I’ve also had better experiences when it comes to service with Amazon over B&N. If only I had tons of money just lying around. Then I could buy both and send the one back I didn’t like or try to sell it on eBay.

Anyone want to just give me $250 to blow?
