I have a NC that I used as an ereader. Would had preferred eink at the time, but the touch screen is what made me buy a Nook Color. I could had bought one of the sony readers with the eink touchscreen, but just could not bring myself to pay the price. Now that the Nook Simple Touch came out, I immediately bought one and I am very pleased with it. I prefer eink for reading. I noticed when I was using the NC as an ereader, I would check my email all the time, surf the web, look at magazines and spent little time reading books. Then during Memorial Day weekend, I sat outside to read with the NC and even when the brightness was maxed out it was uncomfortable to read so I knew right then that I wanted an eink device. Good thing B&N was coming out with the Simple Touch.

I would say that if you just want to read text-based books, return it and get the Simple Touch instead. I can't believe I am writing this, but if they had released the Touch before the Color, I probably would not had gotten the Nook Color.
