   You can read PDF on the Kindle or Nook without problem. See the section "Files Kindle Recognizes" on the official page here for the file formats supported by the Amazon Kindle:

   I own the Kindle 2. If you ask me to choose again now, I’ll still go for the Kindle instead of the Nook, because I think the web browsing function is rather important (the Nook does not have a web browser). The free internet (and now it is free international internet) plus the web browser allow me to look for information whenever I’m in need. It is really a cool feature that cannot be missed. And right now it is free for both the U.S. and many other countries, it is just incredible when you bring it to trip.

   I like to use the text-to-speech function on the Kindle too, meaning that I can "read" with my hands and eyes free…

   And I remember I read these reviews when I decided to get my Kindle:

   It all depends on file format, and more importantly whether they’re protected/DRMed or not. The short answer is if they are in an unprotected format you can either upload them natively or convert them with a program such as calibre. If they are protected, then you won’t be able to read them on an e-reader.

   You can make notes and highlights with the kindle, I don’t know about the nook.

   For PDF files, you can read them on both the Nook and the Kindle. See the section "Supported File Types" at the lower right corner on this page for files supported by the Nook:

   And see "Files Kindle Recognizes" section on the official page here for file supported by the Amazon Kindle:

   I’ve given a detailed comparison between the Nook and the Kindle here, guess you’ll be interested as well:

   Built-In PDF Reader

   Unload the loose documents from your briefcase or backpack, and put them all on Kindle. From neighborhood newsletters to financial statements to case studies and product manuals–you can take them all with you on Kindle. Native PDF support allows

   I’ll vote for the Amazon Kindle, as the Nook does not have good comment since it launched. you can make annotation on the Kindle for your own ebooks. I’ve also mentioned more about textbooks on the Kindle here:

   And here are the textbooks you can find on the Kindle:
