Hi Eve,
Yes, Nook's new design is nice too, although it is bulkier (50% heavier than Kindle) and US$10 more expensive for the same range. Kindle 3's screen is the best around for the moment I think, 'cause they improved the contrast by 50%, and have 16 gray shades (some e-Readers still use 8 shades only!).
Right, Kindle is for heavy / serious readers, those that have previously enjoyed a real book. For those that prefer multimedia or colours, then iPad would be best for consuming such materials, i.e. magazines and videos.
I can't live without the dictionary too - I keep checking words as I read. I never do that when reading a real book - too lazy to keep a big bulky dictionary next to me haha. My improvement in vocabulary can definitely be attributed to this device
