Update: I got a Nook for Christmas, thanks to the parentals! Updates on how much I love it to come :)

• More eco-friendly than regular books
• Access to free books via BN
• Free reading while at BN
• Portable (small and light)
• Better/easier reading experience than iPad
• Even paid eBooks are cheaper than regular books
• Do not need book storage at home
• Battery life is really good, and lasts for several days at a time
