I loved my kindle touch. (pretty much just an e-reader). So much in fact that I haven't sold it, yet. My husband went and got me a kindle fire. I don't like it as much, but if anything ever happens to my computer or phone, I pretty much have a little computer at my fingers. All the kindles come with wifi because that's how you download the books. The kindle is linked through amazon. The nook through barnes and nobles. I don't think you can download amazon e-books on to the nook and vice versa. (You will have to google this for sure). One of my favorite things about kindle is that they have 100 free e-books and they change on the hour. I check them daily or once a week and go to town if I like the books. This has allowed me to read a large variety of genre. Another beautiful thing about the kindle is that they give you a cloud storage. Essentially what this means is, you buy a book and it goes immediately onto the storage, not your kindle. So if you are like me you can literally have thousands of books, without taking up valuable storage. When I want a book I just download it onto my kindle. When I'm done, I just remove it and it goes back to storage. You always have access to those books once you buy them.
I've never used a nook, but when I was thinking about buying an e-reader, I did like I do with everything. I researched and I read reviews. (this was before the newest version of the nook came out). Everything I read at that time pointed to the kindle as being a better buy, and as having less technical problems. I don't know if this still holds true.
