Reply #19: I got a Nook for Christmas

[WolverineDG]

I wasn't even expecting it! I hadn't even thought of getting one because I, too, like holding a book in my hands & seeing them on the shelves. I also love to spend time in the library perusing the shelves. :)

That being said, now that I have a Nook, I really like it. I like the fact that I can get some classic books for free & classic novel collections for pennies. I'm not sure I'd want to spend $ on getting current novels that I can get from the library, though.

I like the Nook because it's lightweight (compared to the book I hauled to Seattle for Christmas), & can store many books so I'm not locked in to just reading the 1 or 2 I dragged along with me when I travel. My Nook does have wi-fi capabilities but it can't connect to the wi-fi I have at home (boo-hiss--I'm not the only one, based on the google searches I've done), so I have to park next to McDonald's to get updates. ;)

Now I can save my $ and shelf space for books I really like. :)
