The one BIG issue I have with the Nook is that B&N really dropped the ball with Nook accessories. The reader doesn't ship with any kind of cover or protection and there are no stores within a reasonable driving range that have any accessories. I live outside of Hartford, CT so I'm not exactly in the boonies. I'm glad that I waited a couple of months before trying to get a Nook because at least there are quite a few 3rd party vendors selling nice Nook accessories.
Overall I'm quite happy with the Nook and will keep it.
Recently I purchased the Sony PRS 900. The larger screen was a plus but each time I looked at the screen's clarity I felt buyer's remorse. I ended up buying a mighty bright book light which increased the screen's clarity but i still felt buyer's remorse when I was using the book light. I went to B&N for a week contemplating about which reader met my needs. For me screen clarity is more important so I returned the PRS 900 to Best Buy.
There are no Nook accessories at the B&N store in my area. I finally gave up and ordered from Oberon design. 
I'm really enjoying the Nook. |
Glad you found something you're satisfied with! I know you wanted the 900 to work out.
