I'm looking at the entourage edge right now, it looks pretty good if it weren't so goddamn big

But it can view entire pdfs on one page, battery life is great, verizon network, very little (to no) glare, and its simple. Meant to only read books, not do a million other stupid things like play MP3's. Its going to have a text input firmware update in April and supposedly get a dictionary as well.

It supports all open book formats (including ePub, thank god) and the designers have stated they are planning on ensuring as many formats as possible work for this reader in its lifetime.

Kindle.

Bought my wife one, she loves it.
Nook was full of issues when it came out, so that's why I went with the Kindle.
My buddy at work has a Nook and he likes it, though. Nook has better PDF support, I guess.

i ended up going with nook

absolutely love it, reading world war z right now h:

my local library has native support for the nook(i can use their online site to borrow books too), so combine that with the epub support and the larger B&N library and it just made sense

i'm thinking about getting a nook for the wife. she reads a lot, and i think would read even more if the books were cheaper.

do you still like it?
