nook Color
DH just bought me the nook for my birthday. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
He has requested an expensive gift for the holidays and he is getting it. He now wants to know what I want.
The truth is, all I would want is a gift card to buy more books for my nook. I am not in need of a single thing right now!
Should I ask him for the nook Color and try to sell or give away my other nook? Do you think it would be worth it?

Re: nook Color
To be completely honest...if you have a brand new Nook that you love, it seems to me that getting the Nook Color would be buying something just to buy something. Do you have to give "even" gifts?

Re: nook Color
If you want the Nook for reading I'd keep the one you have. Nookcolor is backlit so it will cause more eyestrain than the original Nook. I use my computer for everything else so I don't feel like I need the other functions.
I am totally fascinated by Nook Kids and have been thinking maybe we should get one for that, but DH is arguing that it's an expensive and delicate toy for them at this age.
ETA: I'd ask him for a cover for your nook. I love the Oberon ones. I have a custom fabric one from etsy that I LOVE and a JAVOedge one with a stand on the back that I use when I'm eating so it stands up on it's own. The Noreve ones from France are supposed to be awesome. Pen and Quill makes one that looks like a hardcover book that is really cute.
I have an medge booklight that I love, I also have a Lyra that is ok but I don't like as much. And I got a colored backplate for it at BN which I really like. And I got an Aquapack waterproof sleeve for when I go to the beach or pool, if you like to read in the bath it's great for that too.
I kind of have an issue with Nook accessories.

Re: nook Color
I want the new one so I can read it in bed at night without a light.

No, not at all - but I think he wants to give me a nice gift since he is getting something really nice.

I didn't know it had a backlight! Oooh this is reason enough to get it!

I have a cover and was considering getting a booklight but I didn't know if that would bother DH, I feel like the backlighting on the new nook would bother him less?

Re: nook Color
Do you already have a nook? How old is it? I just got mine 3 months ago. I would not get a new one just now.

Re: nook Color
I wouldn't get it. as cool as it is, your going to lose $ if you sell yours and its value will be less once the new one is out. I would ask for something like a GC to get a massage or go to the spa for a day. I just got a gc to the east wind from DH and I can't wait to use it!
