I have a nook, and I love it. The features that are common to both nook and kindle (I’m pretty sure) that I like: Adjustable font size. At night when I’m tired, the ability to have a larger font is easy on my eyes. Choice of lit or not lit for dimmer environments. Not the same as a tablet or phone. Ability to sort the library any way I want. Smaller and lighter weight than most paper books. Just released titles are less expensive than new paper books. There are lots of sites where you can get good titles very inexpensively, like Bookbub.com. It’s just easier all around for me.
