I have never owned an e-reader, nor have I ever downloaded a book, but pre-ordered the nook the week it was announced. I'd been pining for a Kindle for a full year and was literally one day away from caving in and ordering the Kindle 2, when DH told me about the B&N announcement. As soon as I read the specs I felt the nook was what I needed.
I'd had some concerns about the Kindle 2, particularly the non-replaceable battery and technical hassles involved with downloading books from other sources, plus I know two Kindle 2 owners who received faulty devices that died within a few months of use (not due to any mishandling on their parts). Granted the nook is an unproven entity, but I decided I'd take my chances.
Mine should be in the first bunch shipped. I've got a cover on pre-order as well. Now I'm just wondering whether to buy the rather overpriced screen shields. I'll be caving in and ordering the night light eventually, but want to be sure I'm happy with the gizmo before buying any more things for it.
