That is how I felt about it. I wasn't sure I could enjoy it but then my DH and I were in a Barnes & Noble one day and I saw a girl holding one. I did buy a good case for mine; it's worth protecting the investment. Plus the case holds a book light. Less backlighting on the page is better for your eyes.
For reading, I really do like my Nook. I like being able to visit our library at midnight or when it's snowing. The bad thing about library e-books is that there's usually a really long waitlist for the really popular books and when the books first come out. It's been nothing for me to be on a Hold list and be the 83 person on the list; fortunately that doesn't happen often. Most of the time I may be fifth or even tenth. But there's always (always!) something I can find that is worth reading.
Overall, I like using an e-reader. I thought I'd have trouble with it, getting used to not turning pages and the like. But I don't. I put my Nook into a cover and, really, the heft of a book is there. I open the cover, just like you would a book. I had no trouble getting used to it.
Thanks for the link!

I signed up and I get a small list of books every day via email. You can download for Kindle or for Nook.
I just saw this thread, again
Santa brought me a Kobo Aura e-reader for Christmas I really like it. I've already found several free books to download on the Kobo website. Definitely enough to keep me busy for a while.
Just wondering, though, if anyone knows if you can get the free Kindle books from Amazon to work on a Kobo?
