Bought my NC to use an an Android tablet to get my Amazon books (hundreds) but I've gone back to stock and I'm enjoying it much more. I may root it if it will let me use a true Night mode (black background with grey or red text) but I'm very happy with it.

I feel the same way. B&N has done such an impressive job making an e-Reader that it's hard to give it up for the extra functionality of a generic Android device.

I'm really curious about the 1.4 changes. My wife bought the BestBuy trade-in program for this, so I may end up trading up to the Tablet. We'll see.

Or maybe not. I just saw that I will only get $125 for it. Then again, will there be a market for NC after the NT is released?

You can buy a manufacturer refurbished Nook Color with 1 year warranty for $139~149. I reckon $125 is the best price you'll get for your old one.

I've had mine since early last December. My wife liked it so much I got her one for last Christmas. We've both used them extensively and like them a LOT. My wife reads a LOT more books on the NC than she did on paper. I really like reading on the NC, but a lot of the current books I read aren't available from the library so I'm still going back and forth between paper and the NC.

I'd have to say it's easily met our expectations and actually exceeded them.

I'd like to root mine, and one of these days I"ll get an SD card and do that.

Thanks to all of these answers, I have purchased a Nook Color ereader, and am the happier for it. A tablet at this time seemed like overkill, and I can always root it if I want a change. Again, I was able to make this decision partly because of the help I received, and am VERY happy! Happy Holidays everyone!

Another satisfied customer. Received mine Christmas day in 2010...have used it every single day since then. Reading/audiobooks/movies.

Love it so much I got one for my sister a few months ago. She's still gushing about how much she's enjoying it.

Still haven't rooted....

DuncanWatson · 12-12-2011, 09:05 PM

I love my Nook Color. The latest update has added huge value as well. It is a great reader and coupled with my simple touch a great combo.

Overall I am very happy with my B&N experience.

Wow, is all I can say after the 1.4 update. The reading features are improved and it has some nice tablet features even without routing. Almost all of my complaints about the Nook Color have been addressed in the year it has been out.

librarianchat · 12-13-2011, 08:54 PM

I'm a Nook guy all the way. I think the Nook runs circles around anything Amazon has put out.

Kaysclie · 12-13-2011, 11:52 PM

Like most everyone here, I use my Nook Color every single day. I would like to try the new update, but, I wonder.....will the new update still allow us to use a
N2A card and boot to it whenever we want to take advantage of the Nook Color as a tablet??? That's important to me and I wouldn't want to lose that capability. Anyone know?

Nahgem · 12-14-2011, 01:11 PM

My N2A card works just fine after the update.
