[Avista]

My Nook had a terrible accident. Its owner (Me) left her Nook on the car while searching for keys. Then drove away. Nook was found later and had probably been run over. I really loved that Nook!

All is not bad. My husband also has a Nook and has offered to give me his. Hate to take his from him. About the same time I put my order in for the i Pad2. Don't have it yet, but have been exploring the Apple Web site and You Tube Videos on its use as an e-reader. It actually looks pretty good. The iBook ap for books looks wonderful. I can also get the Barnes and Noble Ap and Kindle Ap -- both free. So, if the iPad works well as an e-reader, and I think it will, I will have 3 sources to buy books. Can price check between the 3 and for library books can use my husband's Nook.

The one thing I was concerned about was the back lighting. The tutorial showed how that can be turned very low. We'll see how it compares to e-ink.
