It looks like the latest version of both can do the same things. Anybody know if there's an one has an advantage over the other?

Dunno...the Kindle Fire I ordered for the kids gets delivered tomorrow. The HP Touchpad that I have is pretty damn cool.

Does Kindle support EPub yet? (or something like that).

You'll need that if you want to use the library for free downloads.

Older kindles didn't support it directly.

That's why I picked up the Nook for my wife last year.

She loves it, but I suppose she'd also enjoy the Kindle if that's what she had.

iPad!!!

I was not a apple person until I got my iPad and now I have a iPhone also.

My feeing is the nook and kindle are not going to be supported like the apple products.

Have a Kindle. Big fan. If I were to do it all over again, I'd probably go Nook.

Toying with getting the Kindle Fire though.

Kindle. Amazon makes everything so user-centric and updates frequently. Nook always designs around what would be marketable. Kindles are always designed around the experience of using it. Amazon always tries to bring the price down as well. Their special offers are actually pretty good as well. I've taken advantage of enough to negate the cost of mine.

Kindle fire or iPad if you're never going to read it outside. Or just get multiple devices.

Getting the kids the Kindle Fire because most of their college books...well, all of them are available at such a discounted rate by getting them through ebook on Amazon that it was just stupid not to.

I did the pre-order months ago.

Got the confirmation the eagles land tomorrow.

I mean the price difference for just one textbook...USED...vs ebook made the entire purchases worth it.

Droid tablet, take your pick. The price has come way down on them.

If you want the big 10.1 inch screen and dual cameras then go with the Motorola Xoom. There is a B&N app for it as well as several other e-reader apps.

^^ or pick it up on sale at Staples and combine with a rewards coupon and an educator's discount card... just sayin'...

(I think they have student and business discount programs that'll give you the same discount)
