I like my eink Nook and will probably stick with it, but this looks like a great option for a color device. I currently use my nook and iPod touch as my reading combo, but I'm definitely going to be tempted to replace the iPod for reading with the nook color.
The original Nook is fine for reading, if that's all you're going to do with it, but I've always been one for underlining and taking notes. The Nook is a poor choice for that. The menus are cumbersome, and there's no way to transfer the notes you've made and the passages you've copied to a PC. Thanks, but I'll stick with my Kindle.
