Nook vs Kindle

Do you have one? Which one do you prefer? Or do you like another brand of e-reader?

If I'm taking it on a plane or train or in the car, I better be able to read for more than 2 hours!

*sigh* No, even if I was going to buy something from apple it wouldn't be a phone or an iPad, I honestly think they're kind of stupid and don't really see why I want a larger screen that'll run 'apps' instead of a netbook or something.

Either way, it's not really comparable to an ebook reader for a lot of reasons.

Well I won't debate with you. Some like them and some don't. No sense in going 'rabid fanboy' over this...hehehe!

This e-book battle could be avoided if e-books were done away with.

My bookshelves cry out in need of a solution.

Actually I'd really like to be able to read magazines/comics/newspapers on a reader. It's something that could actually get me to buy comics or subscribe to a newspaper. Going to need color support though and i know that's not fully there yet for the readers. (Or wasn't last i checked)
