I live in Japan but am in the states now visiting, and was thinking of buying a Nook Color and rooting it to use as a poor man's tablet before I go back.
I have a Sony PRS-700 so don't really need another dedicated book reader but I would like a way to gain access to the internet, email, blogs, etc when outside the house (without signing up for a monthlly access plan). Problem is, where I live, it is very difficult to find free wifi so while the Nook Color w/wifi sounds like a great deal, I'm not sure how often I would be able to use it as a tablet outside the house. Now, I'm wondering if maybe I should get a kindle and take advantage of the free 3G.
Question is - what can you do when connected?
Obviously much less I know, but if I could just check email and read blogs or forums and surf the internet a bit that probably would be OK.
