I have the Nook Color. LOVE IT!! It's back lit so I can read at night. It has awesome apps and games, and I find that even NEW books on the bestseller's list are cheaper than the tradional hardcovers are. I also love that the Nook Color is expandable with an SD card. I have all of my pictures and music on it too. I check my e-mail, play games, and I can adjust font and lighting to suit me. I know that it's a bit pricier than some other e-books but I think it was well worth it.
