My dear mother got me a Nook for Xmas! I hear that I was pretty lucky as the current expected shipping date for any new orders is Feb 1.



I have to say that I am very impressed with the device. Unlike the Kindle, the Nook offers support for multiple formats including Epub. The nice thing about this is it is a pretty popular format for finding ebooks in. If you can't find a book in epub format, Stanza is good for easily converting anything from .lit or even Amazon's format into Epub with a few clicks.

Here is an image of just a simple Epub I pulled off the net.



Even better is its pdf support! Most ebook readers can read pdf's but seem unable to process images that are present in the document. But, the Nook is a horse of a different color. Looky here.



I know, the text is small. But you have to set the font to small else the pdf blows up and the pages are distorted. Not unreadable distorted, but enough to push things around and mess with the pictures and what not. All and all, this is a great device for all you readers out there.
