I can't even believe I'm thinking about this now. I need. An E-book Reader. Not Want. Need.
It's because I'm doing some major book reviews and the best way to get books is by reading the e-books. The paperbacks can wait for the personal collection.
I know I will also enjoy an e-book reader. I've been thinking. Which one?
Amazon's Kindle?

Or Barnes and Noble's Nook?
I have no problems whether or not it's colored. I just need to read.
Let's do a tabular comparison, shall we?

This is just an overview comparison, I'm still thinking. You will find out though which one I will be asking for when one of my aunts arrive. Close competition right?
Reminder: Features are taken from these sites- Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I am not being paid to compare the two e-book readers. Though I won't mind if someone would want to donate either one to a poor bookworm like me. Yikes!
