Good luck. I have the Color Nook and would love to have the newest one out as well. I also have the 3-g black and white one. They are both great; I can read in sunlight and my color allows me to read in the dark. It also allows me to play all types of games and there are lots of cheap apps available for it to keep me intertained. I can get books in just about any format so I'm not locked down as to where to get them from. I would recommend the Nook to anyone and feel good about what they would be getting.
