My DH got me a Nook for Christmas and I LOVE it! I can read it inside and out. I can shop anywhere, anytime. It now has wifi, so I can surf the net. Barnes and Noble gives you a FREE book every Friday. I can go into any Barnes and Noble with my Nook and get extra free stuff. And, if you have access to a large library, you can"borrow " books from the library! The only drawback for me is : the price has come down since I got it. Good for you, though. lol!
