Jet blues gadget don't always work and I would like to add the capability to do email (texting is not my thing).

Almost settled on a Nook color... but then I had to start searching the Internet to make sure I am getting the best deal in all the land.

Nook color pros = color, touch screen, wifi, can do android apps with some tweaking.

Kindle pros = free 3G, as in free.

Question, can you do email on a Kindle 3G? If no that is a deal breaker. Is there a store I can go to and handle a Kindle? (Nooks are sold at the B&N stores.)

As some of you may know many airlines are adding Wifi to their flights so I presume I could email via Wifi when I'm in the air?

Thanks in advance.
If you intend to read in any light condition, the Kindle is hard to beat. If you want to do more, I'd go with a Color Nook.
