If it's for reading, the black and white version is better. The screen uses MUCH less electricity torun, so the battery life is MUCH longer. The B&W version is not rootable, I believe.

Nook is getting ready to release a new version in a week or two. The new ver looks like a big improvement over the old and is going for $139.

I don't know about a kindle. My wife is thinking about getting a reader. I've got a buddy that's got a kindle, so I have to talk to him when he gets back from vacation.
