I got a regular nook for Christmas. I just wanted it strictly for books, and I love it so far. I travel for work a lot and it will be so much easier to just bring the nook rather than 5 books shoved in my carry on.
You can go on the internet with the regular black and white Nook too, but it's kind of slow. The page turn thing is instantaneous and I haven't even noticed it. The e-ink display looks like a real book. I also just found out that with the Nook, you can borrow books from the library for free. Now to just find someone who will let me use their NY Public library # since they have a tremendous e-book collection...
