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.
i got the nook just before thanksgiving and i am enamored by it, too! just wish it had more free apps for word games. am sure they will come in time.

logdog - check out the pulse and tv.com apps - they're free to download and great to use in wi-fi!
