My cousin wants to buy my aunt an ereader. My aunt is very behind as far as far as technology... No computer and a track phone

do you think the kindle or nook would be better for her? Less bells and whistles the better.

i don't have either, so take this with a grain of salt. having looked at both of them, i'd think the kindle would be better, because it has the reflected light screen technology that really does look like a book page and is easy to read anywhere. it's almost hard to believe it's a computer screen.

The nook has the same eink. Only the nook color has the LED back lit screen.

That said, the kindle is definitely less fancy.

I like that my Kindle doesn't have a bunch of other features. I wanted a great e-reader and that's what I got. I already have a laptop, iPhone, etc.

FWIW, my eyes get less tired reading my Kindle than when I read regular books.

I'm in the nook fanclub. It's very easy to use.

I love my Nook. So much. Sigh.

I absolutely love my Nook color. I decided to get that instead of the Kindle because it can read to M while we are driving and he sees the book in color. As far as getting one that is simple I would say go with the Kindle, especially if she is not up on the tech world. I'm sure someone will have to help her use it at first, but I think that will be the best option, IMO.
