Dang.... I feel kinda deprived.

I still have my 1st gen Nook. The first one that came out with Wi-Fi.
I've just barely moved up to a smart phone - about 2 months ago.
I have a great PC, a laptop I only use when go to my parents and a netbook I'm not sure what I want to do with.

The only thing I read on is the Nook. The phone is too small - I have old lady eyes and it gives me a headache when I have to mash the phone against my nose to read.

And an almost new laptop that isn't working and I don't know why. (Inherited when my husband passed) - ohh and the husband's nook that doesn't do anything. He must have dropped it in a tub or something.

All that said - I am in the market for a new reader. I think it will be on my Christmas list. I'm thinking the Sony PRS - T2. I just bought my son one for Christmas as his old Sony reader is even older than my Nook. (I'm excited to surprise him with that one!)

All I really want to do is read on it. I do a lot of my reading outdoors so I love the e-ink. I also like that I don't have to remember to charge every single day. My nook used to go for a week or two, even with marathon reading sessions. It's now gotten to where I do have to charge almost daily though and that's one of the reasons I want a new one.

Then again.... I'm that person that everyone else in my office thinks is really weird because I don't watch movies or TV. I'd rather read a book and not have the incessant background noise.
