I have both and I wouldn't say I used both regularly, the nook color has sort of taken over as my dominant ereader (much to my surpise) but I do still use my regular nook. When my nook color is charging or it's all the way in the other room

.

but that will change once the weather starts to warm up. I'm an avid outdoor reader and my nook eink will be my go to device for by the pool, out on my deck or any other outdoor reading.

I think they compliment each other perfect. Where one might have a shortcoming, the other fills that void.

They are like Peas and Carrots

Cool, thanks for the replies everyone. I got the Nook, it was too good of a deal I thought for it being brand new and coming with case and SD card for only $100. Played with it this morning, and ended up spending almost two hours reading on it. I really did forget I was reading on a screen and not in a book/newspaper. The e-ink really is awesome. So I think I'll probably do most of my book/newspaper/in-store reading on the Nook, and use the Nook Color for magazines and as an internet tablet. Now I'm getting pretty excited to root the Color when I have some spare time this weekend. I've spent a lot of time reading about it on NookDev's website, and feel comfortable in doing it.

One thing I'm not clear on is apparently the Nook classic can also be rooted? I'll have to read up on that sometime as I have no idea what that entails or what advantages/disadvantages it has, and if it is as simple and hassle free as rooting the Nook color? If it takes away from the in-store reading then I wouldn't consider it, that'll be my main purpose for it I think.
