How well can you see the screen in direct sunlight? Thinking about buying an ebook reader, but not sure its for me... I have heard you say that you are not much of a reader also, do you think the nook could change your outlook on reading rather that audio books?

You can absolutely read in bright daylight with these-- though, as I said, it seems (at least with the sony) that the touch-screen editions have more glare... The nice thing about the Nook (vs the Kindle) is that they will have them at Barnes and Nobles stores, so you can go and try it out before buying. I most certainly will. Audio books are "my thing" 'cause I'm always on the road, or always jogging, or always working on stuff-- so they're wonderful to do while doing these other things. I just don't have that much time to read. *For me* there's books that I have to read, that make it worthwhile. It's the price equivalent of 26 novels, or 9 computer books... and that price doesn't include the books... so, if you're taking it on planes- it's a matter of if the price is justified. I don't know that it will turn a non-reader into a reader though. You can borrow this for an evening if you'd like. Very well phrased question, and very good knowledge of me.
