While we're speaking of reading.
Who here has moved to e-books ?
I have been a hard core book collectors for years with close to 1500 scifi/fantasy books in my collection and then I got a kindle 10 months ago.
Since then I haven't purchased a single paper book and I am actually reading a lot again ( purchased and read 35 e-books or so in 10 months while I was down to reading 8-9 books a year before that).
The thing that really rocks with the kindle is the spur of the moment purchase. I used to buy books as they were released, especially in case of series as I never knew if I would be able to find them later on. And when i wanted to read a new book I would look at my backlog and have to decide what to read next.
Now when I finish a book I can get and start reading any book I want within 60 seconds, so I get to read what i feel like reading at that time, not what I purchased 2 years earlier........
One thing I had never done before (except for LOTR) is that e-books are cheap enough that I find myself repurchasing old books I had and rereading them again....
I LOVE MY KINDLE !!!

I have a Nook and I just got The Wife a Nook Color for Valentine's Day and we're both hooked. I love my bookshelf and my book collection...but it just takes so much space. On top of that, packing and moving my massive collection of books is always one of the hardest things to do. I'll miss growing my book collection but the reality is I only have so much space and my Nook takes care of that nicely. I have about 30 books on it with room for thousands more before needing to expand the memory and it takes up the space of a notebook.
The one thing that does bother me though is The Wife and I can't share books back and forth. There are some books I can lend her for two weeks, but not every book and even that is a pain. Even when I'm through with the book I can't give it to her to read like I would a normal book so I'm probably just going to rip the DRM from all my eBooks.

Can't you tie both nooks to the same account and only purchase books on one account ?
Or switch her nook to your account if she wants to read one of your book and then switch it back to hers ? ( I know it's possible with the kindle, as we have two here too).

No, an account may only be active on a single nook, it sucks.
