Does anyone else agree that they would still rather have this then the Nook Color or w/e it is called?
details
I like e-ink, and if you ask me this is still the best reader out there. the Kindle 3 is nice but its more of a status Icon. This clearly has a much better community and library of free books.I just got a Blue battery cover and now my Nook is unique.

Anyone having a problem sideloading? I plug in my usb cable into 2 different computers and 4 different usb ports and it charges O.K.
details
but the computers do not see the nook for sideloading. ADE also does not see it. Have used a non B&N cable for 11 months with no problem and both the non and the white B&N cable malfunction. Did a factory reset and was O.K. for a few days then does not operate properly again.

After much debate I decided to go with a Kindle. When I saw that the NOOKcolor was out I became intrigued.
details
This was immediately gone when I realized that it was an LCD screen. What I'm wanting to know is people's opinions on e-ink vs and LCD screen and would you go with the color screen of the Nook over grayscale e-ink of the Kindle. Personally I think that the Kindle would be much better for extended reading. That is why I decided to go with a dedicated device for reading over the iPad.

Kindle, nook, or none of the above? I'm looking to get into the e-reader game pretty soon.
details
I read books on my Evo, but I don't want to stare at a LCD screen for hours on hours of reading. (I like to read a lot in a single sitting) so I figured it'd be best go to with an e-reader. Now, I know SOME e-reader info, but I'm not exactly a guru. I like nook simply because it runs Android, but that's all I think it has going for it? The bottom screen isn't snappy enough to get my attention. The 3G feature doesn't phase me, everywhere I go I have WiFi access. So... Read more →

I want to like this device. I'm an IT Architect at IBM and I travel throughout the country to work at client sites.
details
I would like to carry hundreds of IBM Redbooks in my laptop bag, but the nook does not support downloading PDFs via the browser, and does a horrible job rendering pages. Since Redbooks typically feature many tables and screenshots, the layout needs to remain true, and I would be happy using pinch to zoom in and out of screenshots and other fixed-width items. I just can't justify this purchase to meet my specific needs. Which is unfortunate because I *really* want to need it!

By the way, I've just gotten around to doing some in-depth testing of the Nook and the B&N reader on my iPhone. I was shocked...
details
shocked to discover the books don't sync (Amazon calls it "Whispersync") between devices. I wanted to like this device, but it is now headed to the gadget graveyard. I just ordered one of the new Kindle WiFi's, because Whispersync is essential. What I like about eBooks is that I can read them on the dedicated reader (Nook, Kindle, whatever), then read a bit on your iPhone when you're standing in line or something, then read a bit on your Mac/PC when you're tired of...

Nook, kindle, or ipad? Get the nook. I was torn between the three devices.
details
I'm an avid reader so ruling out the ipad was an easy decision since it is pretty much as uncomfortable as reading a book on my laptop. Although it can do many things other than display books, the screen will hurt your eyes after a while. The e ink screen is amazing. So, i chose the nook and here are some reasons to consider if you can't decide either. 1) Books: not only do you have a choice from the ones barnes & noble offers, but you also get access to free books from google...

I got the Nook for my book-loving, small-gadget-hating husband for his birthday, and it's been a big hit.
details
He's really impressed with the number of obscure books he's been able to find, mostly from Google Books. Before I gave it to him, I got it all set up and installed the firmware update. Now I'm thinking about getting one for myself.
