Nook Color

For Christmas I got a Kindle, but returned it because I found it hard to read without really good light. Therefore, I decided to get the Nook Color from Barnes & Noble, which I've found to love and hate. Below are my pros and cons of the Nook.

Pros:
1. Great screen size and very easy to read.
2. Internet connection is fast and loads pages well.
3. Good amount of storage for a lot of books and apps.
4. Compatible with files I can download or buy off Barnes and Noble.
5. Creates bookmarks for you without indicating them.

Cons:
1. Battery life is not great. If I read the Nook for most of the day I'll be out of battery. I think I've found I can get about six hours out of the thing.
2. I haven't figured out how to go back on things. For example, I was writing an email the other night and by accident I pressed something that presented options to cut, paste, select all etc. I had no idea how to get back to my email. Instead, I had to press the home button, go back into the internet, log into my email and find the draft.


Overall, I really like the Nook, but if I was making the purchase again I might think about the Kindle Fire, or wait for the Nook to work out its first edition glitches.
