<p>I personally have a Nook, but the Kindle DX has a 9.7 inch screen. I believe it’s specifically for textbooks and larger print things like that. So if anything I would look into this because the small screen on a traditional Kindle or Nook would be pretty annoying to read an entire textbook. Another thing is the Nook Color has, well, a color screen versus traditionally e-ink readers so if you do find that BN carried the textbooks you’ll need a color device may be more sufficient.</p>
