I did.
I haven't warmed up to the idea of e-readers until I saw pictures of the Nook. I am avid reader; and am getting tired of carrying my library around wherever I want to go. I always have about 2 books or something in my purse--and it gets heavy!
Aesthetically, I never liked the clunky look of the Kindle. And, even though I did read negative comments about it; a lot of them (competitive pricing/gift cards being used) I honestly think they will change as time goes on. But, I did compare the books I was looking to get--and most of my reads are children's classics and mysteries--and most of them were roughly a) free or b) the same price. As for gift cards being used--I get them all the time, and yes, it would be nice to use them to fill up the Nook; however, I never actually use gift cards on me. I am a school librarian, and 99% of the time the gift cards get spent on classroom/library use--and picture books tend to be expensive!
I am excited though.
