My best Christmas present was a Nook.
Several people gave me gift certificates which, when added together, covered the cost of a mid range Nook. So I have many to thank for the wonderful gift.
I wasn’t sure I would like an e-reader since I like the look and feel of a book. My prime motivation was to have something I could read while knitting, since I wouldn’t have to hold it open.
I have yet to knit while reading but I have been reading up a storm on it.
The biggest problem is that I keep buying books. I have yet to build up a to-be-read pile the size of the one on the floor by my bed. It is so easy to add books to it that I seldom pay attention to the money I am spending. I have to get a grip on that.
