May I ask which is best when it comes to versatility, storage, compatibility, book selection and lighting for "ease on the eyes"? \ Can Kindle downloads be read and stored on a Nook and vice versa? (SWorry, my techno-ignorance is showing.) Thank You, Bob

Books will only work on their respective devices. You also don't own the books and they can disappear, for that reason going with the company that will be around longer seems like a better choice. Since B&N seems to perpetually be on the brink of failure I would not invest in there products.

Not a problem if you have just a few things on it, but if you're like me and keep 100s of short stories, and organize by authors (or whatever) it's annoying when you enter the folder for M R James and find it moves to the top of the first page.

That's nice but not very helpful.

And you chose to click on the topic because . . . why? Bob, once you buy the book you have to go into your Kindle account, and in there you will be able to see what the books availability is for all thet sharing stuff. It also depends on where you get the book. Most of the classics are yours to own. A lot of small press is yours to own. There is also a big class action suit going on now that might change things. Many publishers are being sued for price gouging, so who knows what the outcome will be. My fanzine all about Rock N Roll: www.sonicruin.com
