I saw a demo in the store, and my first impression was that it was pretty heavy…another lady there said the same thing. If you’ve received yours already, what is your impression of it?
I do not own the Nook, but I heard that the Nook is about the weight of paperbacks.
I own the Kindle 2. Not sure if it helps, but if you ask me to choose again now, I’ll still go for the Kindle instead of the Nook, because I think the web browsing function is rather important (the Nook does not have a web browser). The free internet (and now it is free international internet) plus the web browser allow me to look for information whenever I’m in need. It is really a cool feature that cannot be missed. And right now it is free for both the U.S. and many other countries, it is just incredible when you bring it to trip.
I like to use the text-to-speech function on the Kindle too, meaning that I can "read" with my hands and eyes free…
This is a review from a top reviewer and a book lover, see how she says:
