I have the 1st Edition nook and was very happy with it until I played around with the nook tablet. I knew I would get one eventually when the prices came down and all the kinks were worked out. Then came Cyber Monday last week with Barnes & Noble taking $50 off. I couldn't resist. The tablet is absolutely fantastic. For me it made sense to stay with the nook since I already have a library of over a hundred free nook books that transferred right over to the tablet. I was initially concerned about glare when reading for lengthy periods but found a nice sepia background that's easy on the eyes. The browser is almost as fast as my desktop and I can check in on TOTV and news feeds with ease. Still having some issues with e-mail but working that out with the folks at the Barnes & Noble store. Nice to have local tech support. Apps are easy to download and a lot of fun. This thing is a whole lot more than just an e-reader.
