While I think nook 2.0 my be nice, I guess this version is okay. As stated in my review, they REALLY need a usability expert to work on their menu system. Tap, swipe tap,confirm--**shudder**.
I don't want to knock it too much, but to quote a friend, "Why would I get a nook when all I want to do is read?"
Now with all that said--if you can get by the menus, don't mind lack of TTS, are okay with their credit card security model. The nook is a viable ereader and brings the 1st (IMHO) real competition to the Kindle.
