My husband and I share a Nook (B&W) and a Kindle. There are pluses and minuses to each machine.
I did not want a Kindle, but when I got one, I was impressed. Yes, Amazon did pull the one book (the classic) and there have been some issues with a couple of other titles. I had a problem with the second instance. They refunded my money and allowed me to redownload the book impacted, so I actually got a refund and my initial content though it was delayed.
You can use the web browser to browse, but it is very basic.
With the Nook, i LOVE the idea that I can read library books on it. The latest firmware update allows for shelf creation, but it seems clumsier than the Kindle's option.
Both machines are great--my Sony went by the wayside in comparison--but it is all a matter of what works the best for you.
I haven't investigated tagging, so I'm not any help there--sorry :(
