I have had my iPad since they were first introduced and every generation kindle since they also hit the market. I am new to the Barnes & Noble devices and decided to go with the nook tablet this year over the kindle fire due to obvious hardware flexibilities.

I am one to adopt new technology and have often found room for another device but I usually sell my old devices to upgrade which reduce the cost for my pocketbook and save money for family members as well.

Since I wasn't familiar with the nook, I went in open minded and decided to root my tablet to get the most flexibility with loading apps and being able to use the device to meet the bulk of my needs. As others have stated the iPad is ideal for couch web browsing, reading and play games but is bulky for travel. Because I was looking for another device to better meet those needs of more portability I went with the nook.

I will keep my tablet and my iPad 3G for road trips and my NT for other stuff around the house including reading at night whether it is on B&N or Kindle apps as well as keeping my kindle touch for dr apts etc.
