To Keep or Not to Keep...that is the Question

AKA My e-reader quandry.

Last Friday, on impulse (well after spending 1 hour+ researching e-readers online), I went to Best Buy to look at them in person and they had the new Nook, but only in the box.  That was the one that got the best reviews, so I decided to buy it to try it.  Now I have to figure out if I want to keep it or not. *sigh*

Updated 7/9/11:
Now it's been two weeks and I've read several books on the e-reader and I've decided to keep it; I even bought a cover for it today. :)  I definitely think it was a good purchase.  Now I've got to start saving for a new computer and cell phone.
