Saved my pennies and bought my sweetie a Nook Color for Valentine Day. He has been eyeing this for awhile. For the first time in years..he said he will not be returning this gift. Yippee!

I love my nook! I've had a few times where I haven't been able to find a book at the library, but it is available through the library loan on the nook. Yay! Good job on the perfect gift!

I love my nook too! Never thought I would like having one, but the kids (4 teens at home) talked me into it and I love that I can knit and read on the nook at the same time. Hard to do that with a regular book and I like doing both at the same time alot. Still buy other books but would hate to be without my nook now.

Dh has a Kindle and I've downloaded books to it, but I much prefer paper and ink. Reading a book on a kindle or nook must be similar to what reading a scroll was like back in the day. I tend to read a little bit here, a little bit there, follow the storyline of a character I like, then go back and read all the parts I missed. Sometimes I'll read the end first, or partway through. Reading like that is really hard on Joe's kindle.

| I just bought a regular nook and so far I really like it! I still read books from the library but I like that I can take the nook when I travel and have several books to choose from. |

I love my mother's nook. I was not so sure at first but it is handy. I would really like one, but I am torn between the Nook and the Kindle Fire.
Funny Story ... I took my mother to a doctor's appointment and when the nurse said she was going to have to sit for awhile I asked my mother if she wanted her Nook. The nurse gave us the strangest look. I assume she thought I meant a nuk ... as in a pacifier. I assured her that my mother did not use that! Although I will admit that the Nook does pacify her. :D |

My Nook Color is great to bring along for appointments. Waiting room reading is often very old, or not my taste. I can just open my Nook and read a book or magazine.

An another board I frequent this very topic came up. Most of then like the kindle keyboard or the kindle fire. I loved my mom's nook, and really liked it, but it is an older version. I have not tried the fire or the new color nook.
