Just got a Nook. Love it!! Although I love the actual feel of holding a book, it is really easy to read on the Nook. Light weight to hold, can make the print bigger so it's easier to read, it will go right back to where I was reading when I open it, etc. I also get ebooks sent right to my Nook from my local library so those are free and it's just like checking them out. Wondering if schools bought these, if kids would be as excited about reading on it as I am!!! HMMM!
