On top of that, I cannot get Kindle books outside the US; I can purchase other eBooks. As for image quality, the Nook may overtake the Kindle. And rumors of the iPhone eBook ability may also prove to be a major contender. That said, I don't know that I am ready, yet, to invest in an eBook reader, mainly because there is still a great deal of work to be done for the reader to become as common place a choice as a book on my shelf.

What convinced me to purchase a Kindle is that it has the best image quality which seems to be very important and reduces eye strain. Most Kindle books are $10 or less, whereas most of the books for other readers cost around $20 per book.<br><br>I look forward to following your eBook discussion.
