LOL if I started writing every publisher of every book I found listed at Amazon and no where else, I wouldn't have time to read! My problem is that I'm reading more and more non-mainstream non-fiction. That's not where B&N wants to grow their catalog -- at least that's what a couple of in-store employees told me. Over the past 6 weeks of owning a Nook, I've realized that the Nook is best for those who primarily read within the domain of the Agency 5 publishers -- popular fiction and non-fiction that shows up on the NYT Bestseller lists. If B&N lists a book outside of the Agency 5 booklists, it's oftentimes more expensive than elsewhere. I'm a frequent Inkmesh user.
I'm also a voracious, fast and eclectic reader. If I didn't read outside the mainstream, I'd quickly run out of things to read. Library checkouts was the primary reason, I chose the Nook. But when I realized lots of folks have more than one eReading device, it became apparent that's the simple solution -- a device for ePub and a device for Amazon -- why chose between them? I can have the best of both worlds.
I have the Nook, so I can wait and see how things develop for the upcoming holiday season. I'm hoping the Android tablet will release and live up to it's early hype and support a Kindle App. I find the 6" screens to be too small for my reading speed -- great for travel -- but at home, I'd like a larger screen. So I'm also a candidate for the Kindle DX -- although I think I'd rather have a multifunction device for the cost of a Kindle DX -- which is why the iPad may also be in the running.
