Compared to Nook, Kindle is a user-unfriendly, twisted and buggy piece of mess. The 4 way directional pad's DOWN button is right above the back button which lead me to push BACK instead of DOWN. It didn't connect to any of my 2 routers at home! I played with the settings for 3 days before completely giving up! IT DIDN'T CONNECT NO MATTER WHAT! Half the settings and options are locked away unless you register your kindle with Amazon! What were you thinking Amazon?! I already paid $$ for this device and I want full usability out of the box not being put on a leash! Nook is my choice Eeader for a long time to come simply because they have understood what the users want and the touch screen is a godsend in terms of making the device user-friendly.
