Here is a few that I have time to answer right now.

I don't find it too heavy while reading in bed. It will depend on how you like to read in bed. If you lay on your side it's fine if you are propped up on your back you can use a pillow to angle the thing so you don't have to hold it.

You can read outside but you will have to use much more backlighting and it will suck the battery out and you will not be able to read as long.

The nook color does not have 3g. It is wifi only. If it did have 3G you would be able to use it everywhere that has 3g connectivity (ie att cell phone coverage). The Kindle 3g can be used to surf the internet but it is a crappy experience. I do take it on trips though since I can use it to pull up a map if we get lost.

Regarding the hand cream issue. A screen protector helps a lot. You could purchase a stylus that works on capacitive touch devices (like for the ipad). You can try to use a glove liner or a rubber glove after it has been unlocked. It does not seem to work to unlock it.

I don't have problems reading on the device since you can control the back light and the size of the font. Though I wish I could get a back background with green writing.

Buttons - vs on screen - the buttons are nice on a Kindle but sometimes hard to push and the on screen is quicker to type on but sometimes gives you two letters instead of one.
You are sure quick to judge someone that you don't even know. Is your unkind response how you tend to treat newbies? I did not recognize that I had an attitude. I was just hoping to get someone to help by saying that someone surely has an answer to my questions. If you take that as whining, I'm sorry. I apologize if you or others took it that way.

Thank you so much for your appreciated answers.
