Nook in the Wild

On my way home from dinner tonite, I saw someone reading from a Nook on the train. Like I said before, I really don't want an eBook reader (at least I wouldn't spend my money on one), but man do I want one! I'm still not sure if I'd want a Nook or a Kindle though, considering the Nook has gotten panned in most reviews. I think I'm just drawn to the gadgety-ness of an eBook reader. In reality, I prob wouldn't last a week reading from one. I think.
