i just purchased the nook tablet [wi-fi no 3g] and i am HOOKED! i evaluated the ipad and all sorts of tablets and e-readers and tossed and turned over making a decision! the cnet reviews on each product made me choose the nook because of its screen clarity and because of the add'l memory that can be added via a micro sd card! the ipad offered functions that this newbie user just did not need at this stage - thus, i could not justify the expense - maybe later on if i become dependent on such electronics!!! i'll use the nook primarily for entertainment when travelling between homes in maine and florida, as well as streaming an occasional movie from netflix.

will attend my first nook session @ b&n tomorrow nite and look forward to finding out even more potential offered by this gizmo! am hoping i might meet someone there who can - "after class" - show me how easy it is to sideload the amazon appstore!! as i indicated, am nook hooked!
