For what it's worth; My Wife got a Nook, and WOW is it cool! It's not the super brand new one they've been advertising, but thanks to an update, we now have Netflix on it

So yea, LOTS of books on it, and it has Opera, and you can listen to Internet Radio on it...Which normally I wouldn't care about, but it manages to find basically some REALLY good music on there.

And of course, having Netflix on it rocks too. Oh, and, you can check your Email and type out and send Emails on it too.
