I'm a woman, and Nook Color did NOT really appeal to me from the get go. My eyes don't prefer a backlit screen, and realistically, it didn't bring anything I really wanted to the table other than full touchscreen. I don't read magazines often, I rarely need color, there's NOT WiFi all over my small rural town, so it really wouldn't serve as access to the internet while going about my day. Battery life worse than the original Nook, which was disappointing at best in that regard. Price, expensive.
I just need is a reader that is easy to read on and that offers great organization for tons of books. I opted for the Sony 950... and hubby found me a clearance sale one for $200, so it even cost less!
Things that were important to *me*... one library. Organization that is tied to my computer (Calibre tags), rather than some shelf system that will disappear if you switch devices or have to de-register a device.
If I decide I do want a tablet, I want a full tablet. And, I'm more than happy to wait for the market to be full of devices to choose from and prices to come down.
