Thank you, 2ndDivisionVet,
Why is the Kindle better than the NOOK? What’s the difference, besides the obvious? Have you owned a NOOK?
Best Regards

The Fire is my wife’s, but I understand that it does almost everything the iPad does for MUCH less money. I just like my regular Kindle that holds tons of books and can access the Internet if need be.
Yes, I own both the Nook and six Kindles, including the kindle Fire. Obviously, I prefer the Kindle over the Nook, which I seldom pick up anymore. Why? I’m not sure entirely, but the Kindles, with the exception of the Fire are lighter, and hold a charge much, much longer. I prefer the Amazon book selection over B&N, although both offer many older out of print titles, often for a dollar or less. I suppose there are large number of very small reasons why I prefer the Kindle over the Nook, certainly more than I could list, but the Kindle is my clear favorite.
We have a Nook Color, and three Kindles (wife's, mine, son's). The Kindle is far easier on the eyes for reading. The nook is fun for games, but not so good for reading. It seem much more harsh than the Kindles do. The Kindles are just easier on the eyes for reading, but need light to do so. The Nook has a back-lit screen and can be read in low light, but that is also why I don't like it for reading purposes.
