I've got a problem, so I'll explain the situation.

I love to read and even more, I love to read eBooks. They don't take up space on my bookshelf and they save trees. I've got an iPod Touch and I've been using B&N's eReader App to read my e-books. I can also read them on my computer, but I've prefered my iPod Touch. But now that my library is growing and the number of ebooks I like to keep on hand (this means not having every ebook I've ever downloaded in an active viewing library) is becoming too much for my little iPod to handle.

So. Is it worth paying nearly $300 for Nook?

Pros:
Larger library capacity
Instant purchase and download of books
No glare on the screen (YAY!)
Displays PDF's (this is very good news)
Free Wireless in any B&N store (I practically live there anyway)
Customizable skins and covers XD
Storage upgrades for more memory
Removable battery + extra batteries available

Cons:
Cost, but it's what Amazon's Kindle is running for
I've heard the Lending feature has bugs and you can only lend an eBook once. That's it.
With the first Nook version on the run, a new version will soon be available like the Kindle2, with improved features and technical fixes.
....I can't think of anymore. But that's good, right?

I also read THIS article and it was very, very help. It's just a scary though to be buy something so expensive and it living up to your expectations. *facepalm*

F-list, if anyone got a helpful opinion, I'd love to hear it - good or bad. XD I LUV you guys.  :3
