judging the book by its cover: kindle vs nook

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

I own neither a Kindle nor a Nook, which is a remarkable feat of endurance and restraint, considering that I was an English major and still really, really like to read.

While reading this NPR comparison of the two devices, I detoured into land of e-book covers. Jonathan Adler’s bold ampersand sheathes the Nook, while Etsy’s pretty much got the Kindle covered: check out this adorably bookish hardback case.

So help me out, dear readers; if I take the plunge, which e-reader should I get?
