Nook or Kindle?

Question

Electronic books

I'm going to the states and I want to buy a reader.

The following parameters are of interest:
1) the ability to install Russian fonts
2) hackability (I think I heard that something does not break from the new batches, I can be wrong)
3) hyphenation in the text
4) battery operation

Please tell me if you have experience using these devices .
Or maybe it's worth looking towards Sony?

against - a battery (an additional LCD screen eats it up)
Russian fonts are not needed for hoodlit - everything works
anyway about transfers I didn’t understand - in principle there are none - sometimes transfers (mediocre) sometimes not (depends on the file)

Kindle has a newer screen -
I bought Nook whiter and faster, although the choice was
due to its openness

1) Yes
2) Ruth is possible in any party
3) To be honest, I didn’t notice the problem of transfers)

Answer 7

buy an ipad, it suits in all respects.

Answer 8

Definitely Kindle
- No need to break, and so everything works correctly
- It is twice as light as Nuka
- The screen is better than Nuka's
The only negative, if you are in Russia - you need to bathe with buying devices through intermediaries.

Answer 9

I didn’t use Nuk, I’ll tell you about the Kindle, I read art literature in mobi from litres & flibusta
1) Rus. fonts out of the box
2) there were articles on habré, but personally I don’t need it, I’m completely satisfied as it is
3) there are no transfers, and I didn’t notice the need for them
4) in my mode: 10 days from incl. wifi + 3g or 20 days without an Internet, charging quickly
did not like one thing: book management made by collections (tezhe tags), and even without a Russian keyboard.

Answer 10

LCD is harder to read than e-ink, but the latter needs light.
Kindle has problematic software and PDF display is lame, reflow is not.
