<p>gladdad–I’ve gotten to the point that the thought of reading an actual book makes me just not read it until I get it on my Nook :D. It’s so much easier with the Nook, especially at night when DH is fast asleep and I can’t put my “book” down.</p>
<p>Marilyn—one observation I had when I first got my Nook, actually when I was trying e-books on my phone, was that these would be GREAT for hesitant readers or kids with LD’s in reading because they can’t see how big the book is–or because the teacher can change the type size and you don’t get the “it’s too long” or “the print is so tiny” excuses. I think that schools should put these into the LD classrooms for kids. They are marvelous tools for reading.</p>
<p>I have a Nook color, if I use it just for reading and do not have the wi-fi on I can read for 5-7 nights. I tend to leave it on all the time and I get that much time. We are traveling right now and I have been turning it off. I charged it overnight on Wednesday, used it every day to read before bed, turning it off each morning (on overnight) and I have 76% of my battery life left. If I spend a weekend doing nothing but reading, all day, all evening (which doesn’t happen very often), I can read for 2 1/2 days or so.</p>
