I have had my nook color since April of 2010, so that puts it at right around 8 months now. It has been perfect.
I have read probably around 100 books on it. I have purchased many apps and books from the B&N store and never regretted any of them. I also installed the EZPDF app which has greatly improved my PDF reading capabilities.
A few months ago I took the plunge and rooted it, mainly out of curiosity. While I have installed a few apps from the marketplace, it's main use is an an e-reader and web surfing tablet. I do plan on purchasing the mobile office suite for it with my next paycheck so I can do some light XLS document editing for a game a few of my friends and I play. The nook has basically replaced my laptop for web browsing (I still use it for filemaker programming and web forums).
This little device has never let me down, been there for me during some hard times and it has done so without any problems. I did drop it once, well actually we both fell at the same time. The chair I was reclining in collapsed and the Nook went skidding along the ground, screen down. Yeah, my heart skipped about a dozen beats. Minus a scratch on the side, it came through unscathed and was still open to the book I was reading. So from about a 6 foot fall, landing on it's side and finally skidding about 20 feet across the ground. Man, I love this thing.
