I received a Nook Tablet for Christmas. I like to read in bed & I like the Mocha screen best for that...you can change the background color of the screen & also the brightness & I don't have to fiddle with a reading light. I like that I can change the size of the print & can hold it with one hand...which is nice when my shoulder is bothering me. I plan to go to Barnes & Noble for a little tutoring so I can use it in the best ways...still haven't tried archiving or putting books on shelves. You can also download free books to Kindle on your computer & there is a program to recalibrate them so you can read them on your Nook. I do rely on my husband for recalibrating, but hope to learn how myself. My favorite sight for free books is inspiredreads.com (and signed up for a daily email for these books) I downloaded the free Kindle read to my computer & then if I want them on my Nook, I recalibrate...

I have 2 Kindles-One for games, email, web surfing-etc and one for reading. I older one's battery last longer as it is not using power for wifi or games. I love both of them and would be lost without them. I use to say I would always love paper books and still do buy some from my favourite authors to continue series-ie.JDRobb-But it is so much easier to have the kindle when traveling as it is lighter and packs more books and best of all, doesn't take up fabric space in the suitcase!!

If you can pay for a book you will. Eventually the free books will run out or you'll get to the bottom of the barrel. I have a kindle and read so much more than I used to, but I had to get past paying for a book. I'm the same way with apps on the iPad. I feel like EVERYTHING should be free. I download the sample, and just choose the books I really like. I'm sure your kids got it to help you into the 21st century like my family does! Embrace it!!

I am on my second Kindle.........first one was the keyboard and now the Fire. I get emails from BookBub every day. They usually offer 4 or 5 books....$.99. $1.99, $2.99 and always one FREE one. You can choose what category you prefer to read...mystery, thriller, romance, spiritual etc. Haven't "bought" anything in quite some time

I love my Nook HD, I upgraded from one of the original Nooks. I really like being able to adjust the text size and the back light enables me to read in bed without turning on a light. It turns out - the BEST thing about having an E-reader vs. a 'regular' book - I can put it on the shelf on the treadmill or eliptical and it makes the exercise time fly! If I only used it there it would be worth it!! I can make the brightness and print the size I need, no glasses, nothing to hold, just touch the screen to turn the page.
I prefer to do my book shopping and purchasing on my laptop and downloading the books to my Nook when I need a new book to read. You can also download the Nook application on to your laptop. I always down load the books on 'Free Book Friday' and they seem to have lots of specials where they have half priced books. I also try to avoid downloading books right after they are released. I have several on my wish list and the price on several of them have dropped since I added them to the list.
