Hey, I can't believe that I didn't get this sooner. I love to read but I was hesitant to get an eBook. When I went to Iraq last year, I shipped over fifty books with me (that's how much I love books) and got more while I was there for the year. A friend of my suggested getting an eBook reader but I didn't think that I would like it more then paperbacks. I also didn't want to get a kindle because it constrained me to one website. I am soooo wrong. I love this Nook and I can download so many books that I have to place a budget. Not to mention, I don't have to carry books around (I go through about 3 books a week unless I am not working). This thing is totally awesome. I can also download college stuff to help me do research papers wherever there is wifi. Wow. That is all I can say at this point.
