Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
B&N only lets you lend a certain number of times, and only some books, which irritates me, because I want to get my sister hooked on both ebooks in general and some books in specific.
The number of loans doesn't seem to be publisher dependent for them, although which books you can loan at all probably is.
I was thinking primarily of restrictions on formats. I love being able to fling anything I like onto my Nook. I haven't looked at lending or getting things through the library.
"Dr." is a title, but "Doctor" is the character's name.
Other than Epub, what formats can the Nook read that the Kindle can't?

I think the Kindle is fine with PDFs and text files, but I haven't tested it, because I don't really have a need for that capability.
Honestly, I'm underwhelmed by the e-reader experience (the Kindle was a Christmas gift from my brother and SIL -- completely unexpected, because I've never expressed any interest in an e-reader). My brain likes physical books better. I mean the actual reading experience of ink on paper. I can't explain it.
I'll probably use the Kindle for library books, because I can check them out immediately instead of going to the library and/or making an inter-branch request (which takes anywhere from a few days to a week to actually get the book to my branch).
I'm sure that if I commuted on public transportation I would appreciate the convenience of the Kindle much more.

This is when I read. Also, I can get fanfic on there pretty easily. But I wasn't using it at all when I was getting a ride and/or had a smart phone on which I could read fic.
I am trying to be careful so that noone steals my kindle thinking it is an ipad or something.
I *love* reading on the Kindle. I didn't expect to, but I do.

Me, too.

I hoped I would, but it hasn't grabbed me. That may yet change. We'll see.
Me three.
