After a week with my new Wi-fi Nook, here's my take on its pluses and minuses:
Pluses
Good price
Nice compact size
B&N makes excellent cases
Can read Epub library books
Little or no eye strain
Touch screen menu controls really cool once you get used to them
Page turn easy and quick with sweep control
B&N has diverse content, including free books
Minuses
Battery life isn't great, even with Wi-Fi turned off
Would like screen to be a lighter shade of gray, perhaps white
Takes about a minute to start up - too long.
Overall I'm very happy with my Nook and recommend it highly. Now if B&N could do something to improve the battery life, screen color and start-up time it would be perfect.
