[GRLUG] e-Books rule at Amazon

Apparently the crossover point of more
digital than paper books has been crossed
at Amazon.

I'm seriously thinking of getting a unit now.
Two questions:

*  Does one have unlimited access to a
   digital version?  i.e., if I want to reference
   a book three years later, will I be able to?
   I'm really looking for an online library.

*  I know that GRLUG members have both
   the Amazon and the Barnes and Nobel
   readers.  I'd appreciate comments about
   the pros and cons of each.  Amazon claims
   it has 950K digital books now.  I don't know
   what the corresponding figure for B&N is,
   but that would be a factor too.
