I returned the Nook Color because i really didn't like reading on the LCD. Using it for comics was OK, except the PDF support really isn't all that stellar. There's a little more versatility since it is a touch LCD screen but the software is really lacking. It has the same limitations as other Android platforms, which, for some reason, just fail to render some PDF files. I don't think it's just a QuickOffice thing, either. Multiple PDF viewers on my Droid have had this same problem: some PDF files just show up with red X's across the pages. This was the case with the PDF file I downloaded from JSTOR and tried on the Nook Color. My Kindle can handle it fine. I just have to read in landscape. Not a problem, especially since I enjoy reading on the Kindle so much more. Another thing with the NC is that the screen on the one I had got glitchy and would sometimes stop responding or zoom in and out on its own. I've had issues like this with my Droid before, as well. It became too much of an issue for me while trying to read comics, which require a lot of zooming in and out. If your only interest is reading and you're not worried about color content like magazines, I would definitely recommend an eink reader first.
