Contests on your new Nook, Tom! I love my Kindle Fire and B&W Kindle2. I can't disagree; the eInk screen on the Kindle2 is easier on the eyes. Backlit color touch screens do have advantages too though.
I haven't set it up yet, but I'm in no big rush, as I anticipate borrowing more from my Library than buying. We're not getting ebooks till Valentine's Day. Second thought, there is at least one vendor I'll be purchasing from. CEMETERY DANCE "ALL YOU CAN READ" EBOOK MEMBERSHIP FOR 2012; see http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP...CD is one of my favorite publishing houses. There are also those titles that are available ONLY in eformat. I'll be getting some of those, especially any by Uncle Stevie.
When I told my daughter I got one, she just about freaked. I'm usually one of the last holdouts for new tekkie stuff. eg. I don't have a celly (remember King's afterword to Cell!?), cable tv . . . the list goes on.
One advantage with your color is magazine presentations, although I guess they're still available for B&W readers, sans color. Other perqs?

Although I've not read a lot of stuff on my eBook so far, I am enjoying it so far. Still, there is nothing like holding a nice book in your hands.
I have also started listening to audio books in my car. I've heard some great stories so far: The Help (SK recommended), The Graveyard Book, and Dog on It (SK recommended). I highly recommend all 3.
I listened to The Help on audio and it was fantastic - I plan to look for the other 2 that you mentioned as well Debra.
Tom: With the Fire, pluses include: I am enjoying the touch screen more than I thought I would over the Kindle2 buttons to click. I do miss a "next page" button on the left side too though, sometimes when I am reading one handed. I am finding some of my low light areas more accessible to reading too with the backlit screen at night, I can read just about anywhere with the Fire. On the B&W K2 I had to raise the font size to read in dimmer light. In general the pluses are tablet/ app related not book related. For example I can go right to Goodreads and chat about the book I am reading on it! ;)

I listened to this one on audio as well in the Autumn of last year! As I don't have a print copy its a bit harder to know/remember where each section is but I'm going to try to go jump in on the conversations! Can't wait for book #2!!!!
I loved this book. I can't wait for the next one.
Cyd - me too! August 28, 2012!
I'll have to go back and read all the discussion's to remember what happens in the first novel! This a great group, I am really enjoying reading all the feedback.

I loved talking about this book. It really adds to my enjoyment to have some of my speculations aired and considered from different perspectives. Thanks all!
Me too - but I'm not done so don't leave yet Ann!!!! I think you and Debra are the only people talking to me about this book. I plan to finish up this weekend - fingers crossed......
No worries, Linda! I will be checking back in to see what you think!
