We took a look, we bought a Nook...
Friday, January 15, 2010 Posted In Books , Technogeek Edit This 3 Comments »One of my Christmas presents this year was a pre-ordered Nook from Barnes & Noble. It arrived via my wonderful UPS dude yesterday afternoon. I pried open the packaging eagerly to reveal what looked like a massive clear plastic iPod case. Gorgeous.
Then I opened it, pulled it out, and plugged it in. Patience. These things have to charge, you know.
So finally today, the sucker was all charged up and I was at work - a location that actually gets great cell service for downloads - and I turned that sucker on and registered it. Simple and quick. Nice.
I downloaded my first book. It cost me a whopping $3.99.
I had a doctor's appointment today so I tossed the Nook into my purse and carried it with me. In the waiting room, I finally turned it on and turned the 'page' to read my new Nook book.
Let me tell you. I think I had a technorgasm.
I love it. It is so easy to read from. No eye strain. No heavy book to carry around. No pages to dog ear. Mmmm... I'm in love.

Did you use a technocondom? Dont want to catch anything until you get to know it better! lol
We live in a golden age. Just be sure to get your shots if you're going to have unprotected reading.
I know the feeling! I have a Kindle and looooove it. So easy. So portable.
