Other than Epub, what formats can the Nook read that the Kindle can't?
'Bring On The Night'

I was thinking primarily of restrictions on formats.
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.
I have SOOO much work to do that I can't even work as I am so unfocused. I really need to hire a student, because this is the cause of me having so much work.
My library hasn't lost any books since it went to a computer system with bar codes. They scan them in before they go on the cart. I managed to lose one, though.
The library started lending ebooks through Overdrive about two weeks ago, but they have a limitation on how many people can "check out" a book at a time, even though there's no physical reason for that. Everything I wanted to check out I would have had to put on hold, which sort of defeated the impulse factor.

I think they buy a certain number of "copies" (licenses, I assume) of a given e-book, so in effect it's like checking out an analog book -- if all 3,000 copies of Breaking Dawn are checked out, then #3,001 has to wait.
