The first one had this strange volume issue, when I pressed the + the volume went down, until it muted about 5 times and then it would go back up, but then it would go down again when I stopped it. The second one, when I'm shopping for a book, it will just start popping up a random book screen, then I x it out, and it pops up again and again, to the point where the only way to fix it is to power down(it did this multiple times), and the one I have now freezes all.the.time, in a book or shopping. I don't do anything fancy, I have about 20 books on it, and a few magazines I downloaded for a trial. I sudoku most of the time.

I hate to say it, but your best bet for dealing with this, is to simply ALWAYS return defective merchandise for A FULL REFUND. Then if you haven't totally lost faith in that product, BUY A BRAND NEW UNIT OFF THE SHELF. |

This happens everywhere. I was watching this thing (or reading it, maybe?) about underwear, they tested like 30 stores, from walmart to really high end, and all but like 2 just put panties back out on the floor, and of those a good percent had been worn. Ewwww.

Who the heck returns worn panties?! Unreal. You know what size you wear. I hope these folks aren't giving them as gifts.

If I were you, I would first see if they is another store near by and exchange there or I would call customer service and have them send you a new one. Basically what should happen is BN will send you a new nook color with pre paid postage box to send back the defective unit. this is a great device, I wouldn't let a lemon get in your way of enjoying every aspect of it. |

I was in your situation. In one week, I actually bought and returned both a Kindle 3 and a Nook Color. Within two days, I was very sad about the kindle and missed it terribly (I did not think I could get used to the page flashing, everyone assured me I would). I reordered the kindle before Amazon even had my first one back, and I am totally in love. No regrets. LOVE.
The Nook Color was a no brainer for me, it just is not something that works for me at all. It weighs a ton. I don't want an android tablet, they all run like my crappy Samsung Fascinate phone when it comes down to it, and the Nook Color ran especially badly- choppy, non-responsive, etc. Nothing but relief when I returned it. Another thing that also helped me is understanding the Kindle is AWESOME, in my opinion, unbeatable at the thing it does. I just really like it. But it is priced low enough that it doesn't have to be my be all end all of technology. I will get the upcoming iPad most likely, to fill other "tablet" yearnings. |

I looked at the sony.. very neat, but expensive and not as dark as the kindle. If it's price was lower and it had better text darkness I might be sold on the 950. 350 is just too small for my tastes. The nook is just plain ugly.
On another note. I am returning my NC today for my 3rd replacement in two weeks. Each has a dead pixel. This one has 4. So if the next one has dead pixels the issue is an easy one. |

Maybe pick up a $99 Nook Classic refurb? You still get finger swipe for page turning and a decent e-ink screen. Battery life won't be great, but better than NOOKcolor. And maybe you'll feel better spending less for a more limited device. You'll also still be able to get library books, so not as limited as Kindle, in some respects.

But you get the ugliest e-reader available. Sorry but that solid white thick border around the whole device completely kills it for me. I liked it all except for that.
