My daughter recently got a Nook. As far as I know she is happy with it. I'll ask for more info from her. My doc has been after me to get one or the other to help my hands. (Holding a book whilst reading in bed doesn't seem to help sprains and tendinitis!:-)She bought her elderly father a Nook and is really happy with it. I, personally, didn't find it any more lightweight than the average paperback, but I guess it's the holding a book open, turning pages, etc. she's trying to wean me from, plus she says, since I lie on my side, I could set it on the bedside table and read it that way. Probably better for my neck, too! And, I guess since I am releasing my books as e-books, first, I really ought to have one,:-)

We have held off on any of them because it seems they are coming out with "new and improved" versions every week! Maybe someday we'll just download each book directly into our head!**BG**
