Since Barnes & Noble’s nook eReader is compatible with KDL’s OverDrive eBooks and is now cheaper, I’ve been considering purchasing one. I haven’t committed yet, though, and now BN is offering an app for Android-based smartphones and devices. I own a Motorola Droid and just downloaded the app and a sample eBook. I am quite enchanted by the electronic page turning and am finding the text easy to read. I will never be stuck without a book again! Sounds like nook apps for the iPhone and iPad are in the works. Bonus–featured BN classics, such as Emma and Sense and Sensibility, are free to download right now.
