I got my Nook today from Barnes and Noble. The Nook WiFi went on sale about a week ago and I couldn't pass up the cheap price because it was an awesome deal. Although I had been holding out for a Kindle, the truth is, when the price of the Nook WiFi dropped to $149, and I knew the 3G was worthless where I live, I made the decision to go with the Nook instead of the Kindle after all.

I also find the ability to use the R.E.A.D.S. library lending an added incentive to purchase the Nook instead of the Kindle because at the moment, the Nook supports those ebooks, but the Kindle doesn't. Check out my comparison of the Nook and the Kindle.

Anyway, I might still someday pick up a Kindle because I still have soft and fuzzy feelings toward it, but at the moment, I'm too busy being in love with my Nook. :)

I added my entire ebook library to the Nook today, checked out some ebooks from the library and added them, and then started reading some of the many ebooks I've been wanting to read but couldn't bring myself to sit at the computer long enough to do so. My phone works okay for ebook reading, but I was ready to graduate to some a little more serious… :) My 3×3 screen wasn't quite cutting it these days, although I admit that having a backlight was nice for snatching a few pages of reading time before going to sleep. I think I'll cope. I will probably have to buy myself a nice book light though. I'm not sure my LightWedge is going to work so well with the Nook, but we'll see in a few minutes….
