My nook is a paperback reader. That was my plan when I bought it and it's working out great! As long as this electronic reality continues, I have fewer dusty paperbacks taking up space on my bookshelves. Space I need for special editions like my annotated Poe and my big book of Bradbury, and practical books like my home repair manual and hobby books.
The only books I write in are texts, references, and pattern books. Those are books that I need to have in dead tree formats because for me nothing is faster than using the index and manually flipping pages to find the information I need, or just opening the book to the post-it tab that marks the important pages. I've never even tried to use the annotation feature on my Nook, but I did set a bookmark once. My Nook is for entertainment reading and I'm very happy with it. Well I would like a goto page feature, one hopes they'll get to that soon
