thumper, I love the “poor man’s iPad.”

I got a Nook Color in August precisely for that purpose and I do enjoy it. Love the backlighting. It’s been very easy to use.

Took it on a trip to Europe. Battery life is fine with the wi-fi turned off. That’s what sucks up the battery life. Bought a 32G micro-chip and can read and (laboriously) edit Excel, PowerPoint, Word docs.
