Detailed review
As an ereader I was very happy with it but when it comes to reading publications and browsing on the web the 7" screen just didn't justify holding onto it. I commute on the subway to work and I found the weight of the nook as a drawback. I compared it to my wife's Sony PRS-350 ereader and it was much easier to read books on the Sony because I wasn't concerned about the weight and the size was easy to put away when I came to my stop.

The color on the screen is great, the movement was relatively smooth but not that crisp. The touch screen was not as responsive as I would like. In the end I sold me nook on ebay because I just was not entirely happy with the weight and responsiveness.
