Cool, huh?
So .... the whole reason I didn't get a NC to begin with is because I thought the eye strain with the back light would be hard. We don't have a B&N nearby and I was checking these out at the local Best Buy ... Judging from posts, the backlight is not really a big deal as the colors can be changed and the brightness adjusted. Probably should have gotten myself over to B&N in the next town to actually check this out .... but live and learn....
I assume everything I do on my Nook eInk, I can do on a Color .... library books, buy books from several retailers ...
If I've bought books from B&N, can I put them on the new device? If I use ADE, will I be able to side load all my books there, too?
And one more question, if I fall asleep reading it, does it also "sleep" like the eInk ...

I had an eye infection a few years ago, so do have a few problems with my eyes. But I find reading on the NC fine, plus I can adjust the brightness down pretty low to a point where it's too dark to see things.
I rooted mine so I could install a different reader that allows what they call night reading ..black screen white writing ... in the dark room ..it's very easy to read with. I read for hours on the NC without any problems and I have a e-ink that I use less and less.
you can side-load your adobe DRM books without any problem using ADE or Calibre and yes it reads B&N DRM books as well, if you have purchased them on your B&N account they will appear when you register the reader :-) and yes you can also read library books.
the screen will go to sleep and uses very little battery power when it is asleep.
