What can you make clear to me going on for the Kindle?
What can you tell me about Amazon's Kindle or Barnes and Noble's Nook. I was only wondering if they were worth the nearly $300. Once you buy the device do you have to pay to download books, or are they pre-loaded? Which is better the Kindle or the Nook?
well here's the spec comparison of the 2:

The kindle amazing. You have access to thousands of books at amazon Source(s): http://ebookreaderpalace.com

you have to download books. i think that the amazon kindle is better because it loads books in 60 second. also, you don't have to by books from amazon, but you could. the kindle also comes with better features. i think that sony also made a kindle. Source(s): www.amazon.com contributor
From the chief page of B&N, here is how the Nook compares with the Kindle:

Since Barnes and Noble page is only mentioning the advantage of the Nook over the Kindle, agree to me try to tell more about the benefit of the Kindle 2 over the Nook:
- There is no internet browser for the Nook. So even with Wi-Fi, it can lone help you to purchase book. You cannot search for Google, Wikipedia, check email like what you can do next to the Kindle.
- The Amazon Kindle has international free 3G wireless. So even if you're in UK or Australia (over 100 countries) or wherever, you can access the internet next to the Kindle free of charge. The Nook has wireless only within the U.S., and is controlled to be used for buying books only
- The Kindle is available outside the U.S. (it ships to 176 countries), while the Nook only ship within the U.S. at this moment.
- The Kindle have text-to-speech function, so it can treat an ebook just like audio book. This function is not present on the Nook.
- Amazon is already doing some amendment after the Nook is announced (still more than one month to be available). They dropped the price of their International Kindle even further. And they are going to release a PC software which can read their Kindle books. With the popularity of the Kindle already in U.S., I believe they have the ability to overcome any challenger... So for me, I'll still go for the Kindle. At least books are cheaper and mostly like books for Nook will be at tiniest $1 - $2 more expensive than the Kindle books.
