For Christmas I got a Nook Color. I actually got to pick it out and start using it two weeks before Christmas. (And then got all of the fun accessories on Christmas Day). I have read 6 books since getting my Nook. Have I mentioned that I LOVE my Nook?!?!
If you are considering getting a Nook, go do it! They are so worth it! My favorite part is that when I think, "Oh, I'd like to read that!" it takes about 60 seconds to look it up in the Nook online store, buy it, and download it. Seriously, from the moment of thought to actually owning the book is less than 1 minute.
