Hi. I just bought a Nook Color after being perfectly happy with my Sony 350. This was a gift for my anniversary and upcoming birthday. It is so different but mostly so heavy!

I am not yet sure I like it, so I have some questions:

1) Has anyone gotten the new Nook? How does it compare? Is it pretty much the same without color? Can you surf the net? (A friend has the 1st gen and it looks so antiquated, lol)

2) I don't read outside a lot, except during wait time at softball games. What is best way to decrease glare?

3) Does anyone find this heavy and if so, have you gotten used to it?

4) Are there instructions on rooting? It looks like best option is to run a separate OS from an SD card. Any tips?

Thanks.
