I still read mostly real books, but I like my Nook. I like to read late at night - if the book is good, it's sometimes 3 or 4 before I can put it down, and having my bedside light on disturbs the hubby. With my Nook, I can turn off the light and shove it partway under the blanket, and he doesn't know I'm up reading - unless the book is funny and I start laughing. He doesn't appreciate that much.
But it's great having the Nook for my son to use, because it avoids overdue fines at the library. He just got his own library card, and ended up with a $2.00 fine on his very first book. That's not much, but when he had to pay it himself, it wasn't all that much fun. With the Nook, it just disappears when it's due.
And someone - I think it was Ruth - mentioned free books through Project Gutenberg. Anyone know how that works? My daughter - who is intellectually challenged and so reads lots of kids books - tried finding it for her Kindle, but couldn't.
