At first I was all set on the Kindle. My coworker has one and brought me over to the dark side of eink ( I was very much a physical book person and these are nothing but toys) So he let me read a book outside on it etc and I fell in love with eink. So I was good to go, was going to go home, boot up and order one. Low and behold, almost like divine intervention, my wife comes home with a nook, nook classic at the time. We set it up, and played with it. She explained ePub to me etc.
It was love at first site. After playing around with the nook, there was no way I was going to go back to the kindle. The kindle felt very very very dated. This was the kindle 2. Loved the UI of the nook, loved the second lcd screen. Felt more modern since coming from an iPhone 3Gs to a Droid X, the capactive touchscreen of the second screen made the nook feel and look more "Today". Still does after a year and half.
I think the nook classic is one of the sharperst looking ereaders, it's light. Not the lighest but not heavy. love Barnes and Nobles ebook store, all the fun features it brings.
So my darling wife saved me from making a purchase I most likely would have regretted.
