Between a ipad and dedicated reader - for me the reader is more functional on public transit where a few ounces bouncing around in you had makes a difference.

I went with the Nook as well, just because if its ability to read books checked out from the library. Given that the Kindle and Nook have the same screen and once you are actually reading the hard button vs LCD screen doesn't really matter I figured I would go with the one that supported more formats. I have been very happy so far. Even my luddite wife really liked it and now wants her own for christmas. I was thinking about an iPad originally (since I do most of my reading at night the sunlight thing wouldn't be an issue) but it just seemed too expensive (the $499 one is not the one you really want). Under $150 was low enough that I figured it was worth a go.
