Yep was turned off by the clickety-click buttons and the in the way keyboard of the kindle line. Went with a nook classic and what a gem. as didn't even use the buttons on it but used page swipe on color lcd at the bottom. And was a great little device. But the downside was textbooks,pdf's and magazines were clunky and no color. The browser left something else to be desired. If all you do is read paperbacks then it is a great device. Also if a lot of reading outside,traveling or camping then would have one just for that.
But the Nook Color does take me to the next level and rooting it to the next level after that. Now can read magazines,technical manuals, Surfing the web,email is a breeze. Can watch movies or listen to music and is a more general all around use device. The negative of course is battery life as am having to charge everyday when using games,video or a lot of web surfing. To once ever 2 or 3 days if I am mostly reading.
But now with a rooted nook color. I have weather,google street,Notebook,Journal,Notepad,Calendar,More games and many specialized apps to chose from. In other words now have a functioning tablet. Which means no need for netbook,laptop,ipad as this little gem does it all that I require of it.
