So you don't have to sign anything with ATT. The downloading part is a free service.
I have a Kindle, and have had no issues with downloads. They're fast and easy.
I chose the Kindle over the Nook for a few reasons. First, I didn't like the touchscreen the Nook uses. It just didn't work for me well when I tried it out, plus it drains the battery. The Kindle has a longer battery life. The Kindle turns pages a little bit faster.
And the last one is the seemingly least significant, but most important, I think. The way I naturally hold an e-book, the Kindle's "next page" button is right where my thumb goes. On the Nook, my thumb is on the "last page" button, and I'd have to shift my hand up to press "next page". I just figured that would become very annoying while reading.
Oh, and the Kindle is on its second gen, while the Nook is first gen. I try to avoid first gen technology.
On the plus side for the Nook, it can do wireless if you're in an area with no cell towers. Some people like the touchscreen. And B&N has more free books available than Amazon does, as well as more books overall. I've only found a few things I want that aren't available (Harry Potter, Steve Brust's back catalog) on the Kindle, though.
