I bought a Nook Color and jailboke it. I use the Kindle app to read my books. It is a great screen and allow me to study books that have many hyperlinks. Basically I bought it to read one specific ebook. It does that great. But.......

The NC has so much more capability. Calendars, task list, Engadget, BBC News,more calendars, more task lists, the cricket scores, a browser, two, three browsers.

So, I find myself (agreed lack of personal discipline) surfing, viewing, testing, adding, removing, more than I do reading. You see on my Kindle 3, that is all I could do - read. On my NC I can do much more. For some that is perfect.

So, I was wondering, is there anyone else like me, whose actual reading of books has declined since getting a NC and particularly jailbraking a NC?

Perhaps I need to switch to a Sony PRS650. My particular study book (a lifetime of reading there) is available as an epub. It has a touch screen.... as no distractions.
