I have two nooks; one black n white w/3g and the color. I only use the color now and I love it. There was a thread earlier today that had a lot about them so if you search you can find alot on it. If you want the ereader but not for taking on the road w/you most stores like B&N, Sony and Borders have free ereaders you can down load on your pc. Best feature of Nook (any of 3 versions) Barnes and Noble doesn't care who you buy your books from so they support mulitple formats, you can read in the dark and also outside and I love the color; lots of free to cheap apps for it now.
