I already posted the fact that I love to read on my iTouch 4. But do want to add that I use my Nook for certain situations where the iTouch won't work...like when I am riding a recumbent bike, which I do almost every evening for about an hour. I figure if I'm going to read, I might as well burn some calories too. Or maybe I should say that if I'm going to work out, I might as well enjoy it with a book

The Nook fits into the book holder and is large enough to see while I'm seated and all I have to do is push the side button to turn the page. With a paperback book I had to lift it out of the holder to turn the page and the lower part of the pages were blocked by the book holder. I would not like to use an iTouch while I work out. I'd have to hold the iTouch and would probably find it annoying; not to mention the potential issue of sweat dripping on it.

For me, the ultimate ereader would be an iTouch that is bigger than the current one but smaller than an iPad but, until then, I love the iTouch with it's reading and internet capabilities and the Nook too.
