I just got my Cruz from Best Buy today. I figured, for $99, I would try it out before I invest the money in the Nook Color. A $150 price difference might not seem like much, but when you just made 2 college tuition payments in one month, it is! I had a $75 BB gift card, so I only paid $25 plus tax. It is a little sluggish, but I think I can work with this until I decide I can shell out the money for an iPad. That probably won't happen for another year or two.

So far, I'm liking it. I was able to add my husband's Kindle account to the Cruz and access his library. If I can get library books on here, that will be awesome! I have to get an external SD card so I can update the firmware. Wish I had realized that while I was still at Best Buy. But, oh well. I'll check them out at Target tomorrow.
