Pretty much, yeah. Kindle’s got the biggest selection, I think, but all the major sellers are going to have plenty of books to choose from. Plus, many ereaders can read ebooks distributed from other stores, they just can’t access those stores on the device itself. I read Kindle MOBI files on my Kobo Glo.

There is definitely a difference, I get massive strain when reading even just a news article that’s a bit too long, but I’ve read for hours on my Kindle and never had any strain.

I guess it’s more about the “refresh rates,” (whatever the term is, since I’m an average joe). E-readers don’t refresh their screens like ipads or tablets.

There is no evidence that they are “easier on the eyes”. None. The few studies (such as they are) that have been done are inconclusive. Any “evidence” of this so far is purely anecdotal.

What about the pricing of books for Nook vs Kindle? Is it the same?
