I’ve got an original 3G/wifi nook, and a nook Color - neither of which are easily available to me outside the US - and in principle I’m very happy with both.  I don’t use the e-ink nook, partly because I can’t be bothered to carry a single-use device, but mainly because I read in the dark (in bed) more than I read outside (in sunlight), so one of e-ink’s main features isn’t much use to me.  And I don’t use the nook Color so much since I got a Galaxy Tab 10.1.

That said, they’re both pretty decent devices, and I think B&N deserve a lot more credit than they’re getting for blazing the path down which the Kindle Fire is following them.  We’ll see if they can keep up with Amazon when the two new tablets hit consumers!
