Well they are $250... If you do get it I recommend not getting a cover, you acn get that for much much cheaper on ebay... And also I have NookColor, and i love it! You can listen to music, get cool apps, go on the web, listen to Pandora, play games, read newspapers,magazines, and books... Its really great, has good battery life, and it seems to be pretty durable... I recommend you skip the screen cover, but do get a stylus if you have big fingers, or just because it is easier... I love it, but its the only ereader I've really used for more than 5 min, so can't compare much, but i love that it has a touch screen also... Make sure you clean the screen...

Hey, Hayfin, it's worth even more - for half the price of iPad it'll give you all that you need from a tablet - portability, apps, and a great screen. It's Nook Color from Barnes & Noble that is the best value of the current tablet market at $250. Even though Nook Color has LCD touchscreen, it's a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight and produces less glare all of which are dooming reading on iPad. The screen is amazing and readable/viewable at wide angles. Nook Color is more than e-Reader as you can also watch video and use Android applications on it. It's a hybrid device, much more than just an e-Reader but not a full tablet as it doesn't have a camera. Nook Color has several apps that already come with the device (Pandora Internet radio, QuickOffice, etc.) and hundreds of other apps are available for download. Also, you can use the Social Settings screen to link your NOOK Color to your Facebook account and your Twitter account. You can also import all your contacts from your Google Gmail account. Once you have linked to Facebook and Twitter and set up email contacts, you can lend and borrow books, recommend books, and share favorite quotes with your friends. When you walk in with the Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you’re allowed to read any available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi. Nook has USB port and microSD card slot.
