E-readers

I'm just curious as its Friday and I'm curious if any of my readers use an E-reader at all and what they think about it. I got the chance to play with the Nook this past week and found it to be pretty awesome.

The way that it looks, the touchscreen, the Android OS (I'm a geek that way), and just the knowledge of it supporting ePub open format publishing format, which I think might be the best thing for the industry. You need to have a format that everyone can agree on, such as the mp3, so that there isn't a segmentation of the user base, which is how it is working out currently.

What are your thoughts? I would like to know, because I'm thinking of dipping into the E-reader waters sometime this year.
