I received my Nook Color in the mail today and I have been unable to put it down! The Nook Color is the first full color E-Reader. It's actually much more than I expected and well worth the money ($250). The screen resolution is unlike anything I've ever seen before and really does make it easier to read for long periods of time. It has wi-fi capability so you can actually use it to go online and check you email or facebook or whatever.
It's very similar to the iPhone and iPad in a lot of ways, except it's the size of a paperback book and much easier to organize (in my opinion). I was on the fence about digital readers for a long time because I love books so much, and even though I'm sure I'll still be buying actual books, I'm really glad I decided to get this! The prices of the Nook Books are great too! I got all fifteen original L. Frank Baum for 99 cents! I also bought a magazine. Now, reading a magazine on this thing is probably one of the best features because there are several ways you can go about it. My favorite is the "article view" option, which allows you to just read the article without all the pictures and interruptions in between. I normally HATE touch screen devices, but this is EXTREMELY responsive and quick! When I look up a web site it's up in a moment!
You can also put files on there from your computer like word documents, music, and pictures.
If you're in the market for a digital reader, I would absolutely recommend this! Barnes & Noble did a grade A job with this device and I know I'll get a lot of use out of it!
