I have a Nook. DH got it for me for Christmas. What I like about the Nook is, I can do all the downloading on my pc (which is larger and easier to see) and it magicly appears on my Nook. I like the touch screen on the Nook for reading but I'm old so I do all my searching for books, archiving books, etc. on my pc which also show up on my Nook. It's great. I thought I wouldn't like it as I like "real" books but I love it. It's small enough to take anywhere.
