I'll probably eventually download one of the free versions on to my laptop - just to see what I think of it in general. My original reason for thinking I wanted the nook color is that I have a lot of books with pictures in them - and I was thinking I could get rid of the books and just have them on the nook. But so far I haven't found any of those books available for the nook. So much for that smart idea.

I also have the kindle, and love it!!, but I don't buy books with color or pictures in them. I travel a lot, ride the bus to work when I'm here, and it is great to have a library available at the click of a button (instead of a bus book or boxes of book when I'm gone for a month or so). It has caused me to go back to budgeting for book purchases, but I love the convenience. I have lots of free classics, but there are also free or greatly discounted current publications. I love the pre-order feature for my favorite authors and Amazon will tell you if you've already bought the book before sending it to you or does very fast and easy cancellations of order. I also have my library on my laptop - very convenient. My baby is a K2, so no 3G option. It really isn't an issue for me, though. I still buy hard copy books, just not as often.

I don't have a Kindle yet - I'm generally a late adopter - but I do have the Kindle app on my phone and computer. This was pretty much just to get the free classics that are available.
Jane Austen is like a security blanket for me, and I like being able to call her up when I'm stuck waiting for something.

Hi everybody! I'm new here. I got my Kindle using my Amazon cc points so it was free. I downloaded free book plus new ones I was eying. I love my new toy!
