Yep, it was a NC for Christmas!! It was a present from my wife, and after using(playing) with it today, I can't believe I actually told her I might want a Sony PRS-650 instead. I'm very happy with the NC! It's an excellent design that seems well made, and the packaging and presentation are as good as any product I've purchased.....kudos B&N.
P.S. - my wife has a Nook 3G, so I get to "share" books that interest me from her library, as well. |

It was a late Nook Christmas here as well. My husband had planned on getting me an iPad (much against my wishes) but he had traded in some loyalty point to get a few Best Buy gift cards to ease the financial burn and they didn't get here in time. So my bf got an iPad and I was finally able to convince him that after some real world time with one (as opposed to playing in a store) no, I wasn't being modest about the iPad, I really didn't want one and hey, look B&N had this cool new Nook that has a web browser and all the stuff I would use anyway. So we took those BB gift cards and bought me a NC last night. I have resisted the pull of an eReader forever because he works in the printing industry so I felt sort of like I traitor for turning my back on printed books but let's be honest, there are still some books that I will buy (ie. art books and stuff). lol

(waves at Amy) I got a Nook Color too -- total impulse xmas suggestion to the dh, but so far I'm loving it! So far it's not at all enhancing my work productivity tho. Too much to research (to root or not to root?), too many accessories to research (covers? skins?), etc.
The kids love it -- I have to make sure I enable the password for buying so that I don't accidentally have thousands of dollars of kids' picture books downloaded courtesy of 3 year old dd! She's been iphone native since she was 1 so the Nook doesn't present much of a challenge. |

I got a nook wifi complete with an "M-Edge Latitude" cover and booklight from my hubby for Christmas. I've put a small notebook and pen in the front pocket and my reading glasses in the back pocket with the top of the light.
I've never used an e-reader before and chose the nook over Kindle because I wanted to be able to read library books. Before researching readers I had assumed all readers had that ability. I work on the computer all day so I needed something that was not backlit. The small touchscreen gives me to the best of both worlds. I get some color but it doesn't interfere with my reading. The touchscreen is much more useful than I originally thought and easier to use too. I'm in love with my nook! |

I'm really excited about my color nook. Now I have to figure out how to afford one for my mom, who's really jealous! I love this thing. I can even play all of the video's that I've downloaded from www.stagevu.com . Of course, that's with it rooted. Thinking I might have to get a Galaxy Tablet now too...
Not impressed with Barnes and Nobles, but I can't blame them for trying to be proprietary. I just wish the USB cable charged it, now I'll have to wait and buy a DC charger for the car, just in case! |
