and the Kindle-accessible books are pretty limited. No idea about Nook.

I have to say I love my Kindle keyboard - and there are many classics that are free and much fiction that can be bought for under $5 ... that may be true for Nook as well.

Edited to add - also service from Amazon for Kindle is surprisingly good. There's a toll free number and they help you immediately if your book freezes.
