Reading much?

I have a confession to make. I'm addicted...to my NOOK Color. Do -- you have to go get yours again. We can share books!


I never, in a million years, thought I would have any interest in an e-reader. I'm a dorky librarian who loves books. They are ALL over my house and I will not be getting rid of them anytime soon, but I have become seriously attached to my NOOK. I've been reading like crazy on it. Since May I've read eight books on it and have three more downloaded to read.

I try only to purchase books that are over a year old. The new releases tend to be a bit more expensive. And with the NOOK Color, you get the apps. They have added the Android software to the new NOOK Color and holy moly! The Angry Birds are BIG. It works kind of like a tablet now and it's cool. Apparently there are things to do to hack the NOOK and make it fully like a tablet but I don't think that's necessary. I have a few games (like Sudoku and Solitaire) to keep me occupied when waiting around for any of a variety of things.

I love it. I'd buy it again and for other people if it wasn't so pricey. It's not cheap, but...I'm worth it! And so are you. I'd love to know what you think. Do you have a NOOK or Kindle?
