Re: Kindle vs Nook?

[Mike Wills <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The more expensive models has free 3G access. Amazon and Barnes and Nobel
have deals (with I think AT&T) to give us free access. Really, all you can
do on the Nook is browse and download books. I am sure the cost of doing
that is build into their take of the books. I thought I seen that you can
browse the internet with the Kindle on 3G, but I can't say for sure.
