I am an early adopter of the Kindle. I have a Kindle1 and love it. Since the price drop I have started considering purchasing a Kindle2. I have several friends with Nooks, and after playing with them, I really don't like the device. The "color" display is only there to show titles, and reduces the reading-area. I don't think the "lending" feature of the nook is enough to recommend it ... if you can afford a $250 device, you can afford to pay $10 for a book. Consumer Reports liked the Kindle better, too. There is a lot of free content available for the Kindle, and you can port over pdf files, so even if you are trying to read on a budget, it's more than do-able.
