I have been missing e-mails from work and wanted something to be able to keep up. (We send a lot of them at work). I didn't want, and cannot afford, an iPad right now. I started looking and pared it down to the nook Tablet and Kindle Fire. I think I am going with the nook Tablet.
I want the web browsing features. I am not so up on e-reading but I think it will come in handy. I have been reading a lot and have no place to store books. I decided that i will probably only buy actual books that I will refer to a lot.
I have been back and forth but I like the nook for the expanded memory and the ability to store media on a card. One downfall may be music. It has to be mp3 format and all of the music I have with me is in my ZUNE library. However, the tech person at B&N told me to bring my thumb drive in 9Where I have my ZUNE program stored) and he woulf look at it and see how to convert it. He feels it is possible.
My reasoning for getting this is because I am living wth a friend still. I don't like to "kick" him off of his computer to check e-mails, search for jobs, get on Facebook, etc. I know I may have limited access as the device is wifi driven but I am thinking of getting a router to hook up to his modem so I can use it in the house. I have my laptop and could use that also with wifi at home. But I need some access on the go as I am at work when the bulk of the things I need to read come into my inbox. Also, I have read something about "rooting" the nook to be able to access more things.
