IA. I had a Nook classic as my first dedicated e-reader a couple of years ago. I didn't sell it but I gave it away so it could be sold in a silent auction after I got my 350. I just didn't want to keep an e-reader that I wasn't going to use. I just can't stand having something that isn't going to be used.

In general, I'm trying not to buy a new gadget just because it's new. My 350 works fine and I plan to use it until it stops working. Same with my cell phone. I only got this one because the other one was dying.

For me it's having a gadget that isn't being used that bugs me. It feels wasteful. I'm having that issue with my iPod touch. Hubby says he wants it but he isn't using it. I don't use it anymore because my phone can do everything it does and using both seems redundant. So I'm very tempted to sell it.
