NOOKColor all the way! I scratch my head at the idea of a ‘book’ requiring a full keyboard.

After reading the review here and checking out the poll at http://nookvskindle.info, it seems like everyone is gravitating towards the Nook Color. From comments I have read on several blogs, several ereader owners say they would have purchased the Nook color if available when they purchased their unit, while others said they preferred the Nook Color, but could or wouldn’t pay the additional $100.

I for one, am not convinced whether the color is worth the additional $100.

Just my $0.02 worth.

I think I prefer the Kindle. I like having actual buttons to push. Still, there’s something about the newspaper experience that I enjoy.

I’ve had a Kindle for about 18 months now, and I love it. It’s extremely easy to use and is very light (reading one-handed while nursing is SO nice!). I love being able to sit on the beach and change my mind about what to read without having to lug multiple books around. And with the the Kindle App on my iPhone, I can read my book even when I “forgot” it! I love that I don’t have to connect to a computer, ever. Since I live in the middle of nowhere and we don’t have a bookstore, I’ve gotten TONS of use out of it and saved $$ doing so! Do wish I could borrow library books on it, though — hint, hint, Amazon. And the color would be really nice for children’s books.

I’ve got the following: Kindle 2, Kindle 3, Pandigital Novel, and Nook Color.

Nook Color wins hands-down in my book. My wife uses the Kindle 3, our son now uses my Kindle 2, and I have my Pandigital Novel to my mother. We read.

There’s no mini-tablet about it. Once rooted, the Nook Color can out perform the Samsung Galaxy Tab. This won’t kill an iPad, but it’s certainly the next best thing at this time, and if you’re looking for a real tablet, you can not beat this price.

I bought the Nook Color for hubby for Xmas for those same reasons, but also because 1) it uses the ePub format so I can borrow his books on my iPhone, 2) it can access free library content, and 3) there are big plans to add huge amounts of apps for Android in the first half of 2011, which can be purchased for the Nook Color.

I purchased a nook original (with gift cards) to save money on books. I use my local library for online borrowing and I purchased an out of state membership to the philadelphia free library for $15. Basically I have an unlimited supply on online books, even new releases. Its worked out really week for me. I love reading on the e-ink too, is just like a normal book.

I am leading towards the nook bc it has internet access and android. You can access facebook email twitter etc in addition to its being an ereader. Sort of a mini tablet
