Nook Ereader Browser

I want an ereader, but I have a ipod touch?

I have a huge interest in the nook color, I like the features (apps, flash browser, nookbooks! ) but I have an ipod touch. my conflict is that I love keeping a music library, and I doubt nookcolor is meant for that. I'm going to feel weird not using my ipod to fullest performance.

should I just use my ipod touch as an ereader? I think I have the 2nd generation model. would it be weird to own both of these?

The Nook Color is awesome, especially now with the update to Android 2.2 (Froyo) and all the great new features:

The extra size over your iPod isn't just a quantitative difference. It's a qualitative difference to web browsing and emailing. If you use two apps a lot on your iPod, there's a stronger case to get a Nook Color. If you only use it for games, I think I agree with your reluctance to make a $250 purchase. Angry Birds isn't going to be *that* much better.

Reading: If you're into long-run reading on screens, consider instead a Kindle, which you can get for around half as much as the Nook Color (give or take ads or not). Real reading fanatics tend to tire out on LCDs, which is what Nook Colors have -- reading experience on LCDs is like that reading from a computer monitor. Reading from Kindle's E Ink Pearl (better than b/w Nooks older E Ink Vizplex display) is like reading from a paper-based book.

Finally, if the web browsing and games are exciting to you, and you have the money, you will be happiest with the Nook Color. The web browsing and games on the Kindle just do not compete. If you do not do much reading now and don't expect to, the reading on the Nook Color will be good enough, and you'll have fun with the rest of the features.
