Hi all!
That would be my first ereader, but actually i cant decide.

Firstly, i'm outside the US, my father is there for work, so that now he could buy me a Nook. I read that that the direct downloading from Barnes&Noble wouldn't work outside the US, but I guess I could download the books on my PC and then upload them to my Nook, right? So I think it wont be a big problem.

On the other hand, I'm a student, so I have many many pdf files for my study and I also have many books in pdf. But I heard that the Nook doesnt handle the pdfs very fine.. Is that right?

Thasts why I was thinking about the Cruz reader, its almost a tablet pc, it may handle the pdfs better.. But surely it doesnt use e-ink, so im afraid that reading too much would torture my eyes..

What do you think? What would be better?
