Barnes & Noble have officially deliberately stop supporting this particular version even though it's perfectly fine and usable, they're just trying to force people into buying newer versions of the hardware. This Hardware is perfectly fine and it works great and I love it. But for reasons that probably have more to do with greed than Common Sense, Barnes & Noble have cut off all of the loyal users of this particular generation. Why would I buy another ecosystem ever again if they're simply going to arbitrarily stop supporting their devices? And before you say oh it sold it should not be supported anymore, the E Ink screen is perfectly fine and is still extremely great to look at. There's nothing wrong at with this device whatsoever other than Barnes & Noble wants you to buy a new one. No thank you. Their new devices don't even have an SD slot and they severely limit the amount of content that you can sideload. Their new devices are designed to rope you into their ecosystem and pay extremely high prices for their books. I'll say goodbye to you now Barnes & Noble. I tried to support you, I really did. the device itself is absolutely wonderful. The color screen is a nice touch and the Pearl e ink display is absolutely gorgeous. It has plenty of space and it feels very solid in the hand and is very well-constructed. That's why I'm going to miss it very very much now that I can't download any of my books anymore but I'm forever locked into the ones that are loaded on it now, I'm very disappointed. But the device itself is definitely five stars. :)Read full review

I am unable to use the device because the debit card I attached to my account is not based in the US, and thus, i cannot complete any purchse and read any of the books i want to get. Why this restriction on the International Users?!

The nook is a great little ebook reader. Crisp, clear images and easy to read. I also have an Amazon Kindle. I purchased the nook because it allows me to read books while I am in or, at times, near a B&N store without purchasing the book - a nice added bonus you can't get with the Kindle. There was one time I was attending a conference in a convention center that had a B&N store located on the 1st and 2nd floors. The conference I attended was held on the 4th floor and I was able to access the B&N store's "WiFi" from the conference hall. During, shall we say, less stimulating sessions of the conference, I accessed B&N and read a couple of short stories. I take the nook with me on all of my trips - just in case! The nook isn't as intuitive to use initially as the Kindle and isn't as quick downloading books (although it does do it quickly), but both are reliable and I have saved tons of space at home by buying electronic versions of several books instead of the bound copies. Buy and enjoy!Read full review
I received my first 3G+ WiFi Reader 10/2010. My Nook has been my constant companion every since. I get great books from B&N and also from my Pubic Library. Last month I decided to up-grade to the Nook Color. This was a big Mistake because. (1) I used my Nook for reading and with the 3G connection I could shop & download books anywhere** COLOR has only WiFi. (2) The screen was not effected by glare from lights or the sun ** Color gets glare like a computer screen. (3)The battery-life was much longer than the COLOR Nook. Let me add that I still have my Nook Color. It is great for Apps.- Games - E.Mail-Internet browsing-but it Only has WiFi Connection and its only advantage for book reading is the back-lit screen that works well for reading in the dark.
I bought my Nook 3G six weeks ago for a sole purpose of reading e-books while away from home for a longer time. Nook does this job very nice with a single complaint, perhaps the e-ink screen could be a litter faster when changing contents. I also tried reading some pdf magazines with the pictures embedded but the pdf reader installed does it good only half way; when zooming out of default text size the pictures are lost from the screen. Anyway, the manufacturing quality of the device is very high, design is very polished and well thought, with its navigation touch-screen and all, but one thing deserves critics, it's the quality of the navigation buttons. They are just made to hard to press and they really can come handy when the touch-screen gets greasy and unresponsive. Conclusion, if reading e-books is your priority, go after Nook.Read full review
