I absolutely love my Nook - you can find many free books too - you definitely need a Wi-Fi connection to get your books - I am a big reader and if I read a book and looking for another - I have it right at my fingertips - I just hit the buy button and instantly I have a new book. Also, you can download samples of every book - gives you a taste of the book to see if its something you are really interested in. I have read many of the $2.99 or less books and free books - and they are great. Also, you can access the internet with your Nook also - and you can make the print larger if you have problems with small print. I guess you could say that I love my Nook - I never leave home without it.
