Nice try, but my long work hours are such that I get into the office before the sun comes up and leave after the sun comes down. So, effectively, I never get exposed to sunlight. Take that!
I'm all about the nook, and was going to get one for my wife for Christmas . . . right up until I started checking ebook prices at bn.com. Their prices seem to be a LOT higher across the board than Amazon's.
Has anyone else noticed this? It's really enough for me to look hard at the Kindle when picking an eBook reader.
Mmm... Is it just me or does anyone else think it's bad that these eBook readers are getting tied to book stores? Ideally, we'd want an open device that you can use to buy stuff from any online retailer. #barnesnoble
@Hello Mister Walrus: I don't think you're alone in that sentiment, but right now it's the retailers who are pulling the strings. That said, the Sony reader and the Nook support epub format, which is open (but still DRM) and books published in that format are available from multiple online retailers. Amazon owns the Mobi format I think, which is widely available but not directly compatible with the Kindle. And of course Amazon will translate any non-DRM'd ebook for you for free, and all three support PDF in one way or another (though not DRM, I think).
It'll be interesting to see what shakes out in the next year, but for now it looks like the Nook has the advantage for people who want more support for 3rd party formats, and who want a robust online store. I'm waiting for the reviews of both the hardware and the web resources though, since it's easy to get excited by the gee-whiz factor of the Nook but the reality may be very different. #barnesnoble

Wait a minute. Shit.

Sharpen those edges and it could double as a shuriken. I've always wanted an iPod charger that could kill.
