I guess if I watched video more I would find the Nookcolor Tablet more appealing. seajewel, I was speaking more of the earlier models. I will probably only buy refurbished eink devices from here on out. Seems like they're experiencing price drops constantly. |

Just updated. It's definitely faster with the page turns, really like that. A fair bit crisper too with the text. Pretty happy with this update.

Well, since a lot of ereader owners are 'older', that can be an issue. I know my grip strength is not what it was after I broke my wrist a couple of years ago. I can only imagine the problems someone with arthritis or other hand problems might have with stiff buttons. |

I would buy both, if I had the funds. I like the fact that you can root these with a N2A card.

I like the team up with Marvel for comics and graphic novels on the new Nook as well. Nice. The question remains, "will it be rooted easily?"

Besides, I planned on getting my son (and grandson) a tablet anyway. So I can give them my NC and upgrade. I'll undo the root on the NC, restore it to stock, then add CM7 on a card for a dual boot. That'll give them the B&N experience plus access to Android Market. Best of both worlds. |

I totally agree. I know people say you don't need much for reading, and yes, if you're talking epub or mobi books that's true. But when you get down to apps, movies, pdfs, that stuff takes up way more space than most people realize. I've said it before, but I soemhow managed to fill up my 16GB iphone 4 way faster than I thought I would. Do you know the app Oregon Trail takes up 1.1GB?

So, I just got a e-mail from Barnes and Noble announcing the new Nooks and B&N is actually offering a regular member discount on them now (vs. just a discount if you buy a new membership - looks like the terms are one discount on one nook device per membership per year). Member prices are: $224.00 for the new Nook Tablet, $174.00 for the Nook Color and $89.00 for the Nook simple touch. (regular prices are $249, $199, and $99 respectively). For $174.00, I'm almost tempted to get the Nook Color and root it.

Between NC2 and the Fire, NC2 is well worth the extra $50:
