I got a Nook and clip light for Christmas and opened elibrary cards for the San Francisco Public Library and the Alameda County library. I have 2 current books - A stranger's Child and Doc that will keep me busy for a couple of weeks and quite a few others on the waiting list.

I'll also check out the free B & N site and epubbud and gutenberg ebooks.

I am hooked. I really didn't think I would like an ereader but it is so much easier than holding a large book and continually having to turn pages. I have arthritis in my right thumb and the ebook doesn't annoy it at all. I can get comfortable and not have to shift around with ever turn of the page.

This is going to be wonderful for vacations and traveling.

I, too, am a very happy camper.
