I spent in hour in our storage unit today looking for my Barnes and Nobles Nook. In the process, I opened almost every box we own, almost twisted and ankle, and was scared a guy with a neighboring storage unit might lock me in mine. I finally found my Nook and my winter scarves (score!) and slowly -I had lost all body strength at that time- put the carnage of boxes back together.
I spent the afternoon updating my Nook and shelving books (new feature to me!). I also purchased a book from the $.99 section, and already love it! It’s called “Accident Waiting to Happen” by Simon Wood.
Do you have a Nook? Which one? I have the first version. Do you have a Kindle? Do you prefer “regular” books or an electronic reading device?
Alright, I can’t blog anymore tonight. I have some reading to do!

I got a Nook as a gift and upgraded to the color one which is awesome. I couldn’t deal with the first version and would rather read paper books. I find that “regular” books are cheaper in that I can go to a used book store or the library. I also love used book stores, so I don’t think I’ll ever go all E-reader. However, I’ve read a lot of classics on the Nook because they were cheap or free and I love the easy access to read a sample 30 pages or so of books. Sometime I like to pretend it is an Ipad too:) All around good!

I’m very interested in how you upgaded to color! Tell me more!
It is hard for me to pay for a book when I could get them for free at the library (and let’s be honest, mist books I don’t read more than once) but our library system here is too small for my preference, and their hours are screwy. A 99¢ book suits me just fine, and is less than the gas to drive to a library. To each his own!
As for the ipad… I take a while to come around with new technology. I can’t see how I would really use one. I guess I’m a little old school, and I don’t use a lot of tech items. I work on a computer all day and never want to be on anything electronic (‘cept for Nook) when I get home.

I don’t have a Nook or Kindle … yet. I’ve been really fighting the whole e-book thing. Mainly because I have yet to achieve “homeowner” status and I have always dreamed about having a room or area where I can have a wall-to-floor bookcase stuffed with my literary conquests.
I suppose I’ll come around eventually…

I suppose a wall to wall book case with just one item (Nook or Kindle) probably wouldn’t feel the same. I can’t blame you then!

I have no Nook or Kindle or IPad. But I can relate to the digging around in the storage unit. Today I have to go dig around in mine for the Halloween decorations and putting away the summer decorations. I can hardly wait, you’ve inspired me.
