Same here. Not quite sure as to the degree of effectiveness other than pretty cover art, though, seeing as most books are black and white. Still seems pretty cool though.

I've been wanting a Nook recently though, ever since I got back into reading.
The big bonus is full color magazines. I can subscribe to C/D, R&T, Popsci, etc. and get the mag as seen on paper. B&N has gone to publishers to make sure they nail that market. (Apparently poor mag support is a common complaint of ipad owners, so B&N are stepping up to get it right.

It's also Android powered and hackable, making it--by FAR--the cheapest tablet out there. It will get an offiial app market and Froyo update next month.

It also plays music and video (including youtube) and runs Pandora out of the box.

I posted this from the multitouch android browser on my NookColor. Typing is not superfast, but certainly workable.

Had the nook on all night on my desk, read C/D and R&T during downtime. With Wifi off except for my lunch hour, the Nook is now down to 60% battery life. So not bad at all for a color touchscreen device. 10+ hours of constant use with a low brightness setting should be no problem.

My father in law picked on up for Christmas and i'm really considering buying one in a couple of months. He rooted it and had it turned into a full functioning tablet in less than 2hrs on Christmas, I played with it for a while and I was VERY impressed with it. It is well worth the $250 for what it can do with a little work.

He was thinking about getting a GalaxyTab or an iPad but I convinced him to get this instead, he's my guinea pig for electronics :bigthumb:

Me and the wife didn't get each other much this year, we didn't feel like we really needed anything big since we got some other nice stuff throughout the year...The wife got me a $20 Gamestop giftcard and a Dwight Schrute bobble head, then her family got me $35 in Gamestop gift cards, 1600 Microsoft points, some new cooking stuff and an asian recipe book(yes I like to cook :biggrin:), and some Blu-ray movies.
