Did anyone get a Nook and not like it? or miss regular books?

I tested them out a bit tonight...like the nook color but still wanna see the Kindle...but it felt "weird"...and I started to wonder if it would give me a headache or I would miss having regular books? Just curious for more opinions...I tend to research things to death before deciding. TIA!

I was anti-Nook just because I love books (love the feel of them, turning the pages, etc). But I got one for xmas and I love it!. No headaches, very easy to use plus I like the extras (ie internet, music, etc). I know that at some point, I will go and buy a book just because I'll miss them but I am so glad that I have the nook now.

Nope... i thought i hated the nook or ereaders in general... but i realized that the story is so much more important to me than the act of holding a book and turning a page...

I wouldn't get the Nook Color b/c it is backlit. I have the regular Nook and I absolutely love it.

I thought I wouldn't like it but it really is pretty similar to reading a regular book, plus the convenience of only carrying that and having a ton of books with you when traveling, not dealing with the wind and sand screwing you up when reading at the beach....

Since most of what I read is from the library about half of what I read is still in regular books. I'll put myself on the list for the book and the ebook (if available) and take whichever I get first, and then take myself off the other list. For me it's just another way to get the books I want faster.

I have the Nook color and love it. It does not give me headaches at all. I thought I would hate it b/c I also loved the feel of a book but I absolutely love it!

I have a Kindle and I'll be honest..I hardly use it. I like the feel of a real book in my hands.

I got the Nookcolor for Christmas and I love it. I was always like "I don't get the point of it, I'd rather have a book" but I find I'm about 50/50 now, meaning I use my nook, but I also still read a regular book. Like someone else said, I like that it has internet and stuff.

I find that I put books on my nooks that I'd be embarassed to be walking around with

I was anti an e-reader for years. I'm not sure why or when my mind changed but all of a sudden I wanted one. I ended up with the nook and in the beginning I didn't like it very much and was ready to throw it through a window. Now I love it. The only thing I miss about books is adding them to my bookshelf and lending them to my friends.
