I've had my kindle 2 for two months now. And I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

There is a free converter software available that can convert nook books and pdfs to kindle format and vice-versa.

All your ebooks can be uploaded onto your computer for backup.

Also, the Kindle 2 has FREE mobile internet. While we were traveling, I could check up on my Facebook and Email via my Kindle (my cell phone won't do that).

DH said he would never want a Kindle, he loves his books too much. But he's starting to come around. I have a feeling a Kindle will be on his Christmas list this year.

By the way, for all you book-lovers out there. We have a full library with wall-to-wall books. That's what happens when two people are addicted to reading and one of us works at a Publishing House (free books!).
