Nook or Kindle for a college student?

I go by the saying " You get what you pay for." In the case of the nook v. the kindle I would say the kindle, because while you are paying more for the kindle the are the best quality ebook reader I have seen and used. They are durable, within limits and user-friendly and generally good quality. The only thing I could like of that would be better is the iPad or the iPad 2 with an ebook/kindle app on it, but these are more expensive than the devices. My personal advice would be the kindle.
