Have the first Nook that came out. It was a bit overhyped. I wish I had the updated one, though.

My mom has the first one, too.

She has an iPad now.

Nooks are awesome for going on the road, but I barely use mine if I'm just at my house.

Well, I will use it at school and on road trips :).  I will also use it for Netflix and any other apps it may have.  Do they allow people to release third party apps?

your loving lucky
my friend once brought a normal kindle into the school one day and got his parents phoned up.
Don't bring that thing into my school unless you want to get the FBI phoned up on you.
