eReaders

We are thinking of getting eReaders, particularly with various short- and long- haul trips that are coming up over the next few months. What experience have you had of them so far?

I have used two very briefly - [livejournal.com profile] kargicq's (though I can't remember what it was), and a colleague's Kindle (which half my FList seem to have had for Christmas!) I liked them both.

My friend got a Nook for Christmas and one of my students has a Kindle. Both really like them for much of the same reasons. The Nook has a touch screen at the bottom and I'm not sure if the new Kindle has one, but that feature makes navigating through books very simple when I tried it. With both you can go on the internet, read pdfs, play games (sudoku which I played on the Nook), and not have to charge it all the time.
