Looking for an easy way to read The Last Ringbearer" may finally force me to buy a Kindle or Nook.
1. Which is better?
2. Can you read PDF files on either?
ETA: I read that the Kindle can't be used for ebooks from libraries. But I'm thinking someone said they might change. Anyone know anything about that?
Actually, I lusted for an iPad for awhile, but then considered the effect of reading a backlighted screen and was just as happy they cost too much. But readers are cheap enough and small and light enough...just know I'll spend a lot of money buying the books I now get from the library or AbeBooks free or much less than $10, but on the other hand, won't lug bags full of books back and forth across the country all the time.

I've been a paper hold-out for a long time, and don't think I'll ever like a screen better, but things like this make it seem worth it.
I love libraries and old used bookstores where you can wander around and find unexpected treasures and pet the old cat that lives there and chat with the owner....
