Kindle vs. Nook?

Amazon Kindle 3
Nook Color

So when we explore the world of e-readers, there are tons of different features.  From reading magazines, to reading a captivating novel, e-readers make reading more convenient and portable.  It's just  like a whole library in your hand!

Though it is wonderful to have so many different options for choosing the perfect e-reader, it can be very confusing.  Certain questions will be popping up in your mind- "Should I get e-ink?" "What about a touchscreen?"  "Is it being backlight a problem?"  "How about the prices of the units themselves?"
You will find yourself wanting to just choose an e-reader and get it over with!  So which one do you really want?

I have a Kindle 3.  I'm a Kindle freak.  Yes, I realize that the Kindle is not a very "frilly" device.  But that's what I love about my Kindle.  It's plain and simple; with no frills attached.  But with me, that's exactly what I wanted.  I have a ipod touch, my dad has an ipad, and my mom has a Mac.  I really don't need the extras that the Nook Color offers.  I just really wanted an e-reader plain and simple, and that's what I got with the Kindle.

Now, I have a friend who has a Nook Color.  And for her, the Nook Color works better.  Because she reads magazines, she doesn't have a ipod, and she doesn't have her own computer.  So for her, the Nook Color works best, because she wants the extras.

But for me, I just wanted a simple e-reader, and that's what I got when I bought the Amazon Kindle.

So this whole post is basically me saying that in my opinion, there isn't a good or bad e-reader out there.  I have the Kindle because it works better for me.  Others have the Nook Color because it works best for them.
There shouldn't be a war between these two e-readers.

Let me know which e-reader you prefer, and why.
