2010-03-21T15:55:36.203-07:00

My nook would start out with loading up The Autobiography of Ben Franklin. We've been talking about him alot lately around here (for some reason) and I find him extremely interesting! My favorite feature is the ability to lend and borrow books. How cool is that?!? Just like real life without the broken bindings and creased pages when you get it back!

My favorite article of yours is probably This nook versus kindle comparison. I was waffling when I read that too, but am leaning toward a nook now (especially if its free!!!).

Thanks for the wonderful contest!

2010-03-21T13:58:04.347-07:00

1. I like the way the screen looks like a book. I think that would be a very comfortable way to read. The first book that I would buy would be Julie James' Something About You.
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Something-About-You/Julie-James/e/9781101185803/?itm=1&USRI=something+about+you

2. My favorite post is your interview with Julie James because she is now a favorite of mine and it was that post that introduced her to me. http://thebookbinge.com/2008/11/guest-author-julie-james-visits-book.html

3. I would love to win since I will be moving to a smaller place in the next few years and the only thing that I have way too much of is books. This would be a great way to have all my favorites without taking up the room.

1. it will take up less room in my purse!
2. I really liked your comparison of the Nook to the Kindle: http://thebookbinge.com/2010/03/product-review-nook-vs-kindle.html
3. the book I am waiting for doesn't say it will be in Nook format (Wizard Squared), so I would get the next book (for me) in the Pyschic Eye Series: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Killer-Insight/Victoria-Laurie/e/9781429517508/?itm=8

And I posted it to my FB page at: http://www.facebook.com/sigscreations

It takes me about 5 hours to read a book so I go through a lot of books! But I have been laid off from my last THREE jobs and have been unemployed this time since last July so buying an ebook reader is out of the question. This would mean I wouldn't need to worry about carrying a spare book because I might finish one before I got back home.

2010-03-21T13:14:12.326-07:00

I'd LOVE to win! I like the way wireless updates will be available. And I’ll probably buy tons of ebooks, relieved not to have to find shelf space. One title I’m considering is this late-medieval historical:
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Queens-Lover/Vanora-Bennett/e/9780061985362/?itm=3

My fave recent review: Atlantis Redeemed:

http://thebookbinge.com/2010/03/review-atlantis-redeemed-by-alyssa-day.html

Because Alyssa Day’s series is just awesome. And may I say how I appreciate the way you show all the other books in an author’s series on the blog?

2010-03-21T13:10:51.101-07:00

Great contest ladies. I don't have an e-reader so I'm not real familiar with how they differ. I did liked a bunch of the features of the nook.

1. One thing I liked is the ability to lend eBooks to friends. The first book I would buy is Lorelei James' Long, Hard Ride. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Long-Hard-Ride/Lorelei-James/e/9781599984681/?itm=2

2. Hard to pick a favorite post. I’m choosing the review of Lisa Kleypas’ Worth Any Price because Nick Gentry is my favorite Kleypas hero and Lori wrote a great review.
http://thebookbinge.com/2009/10/author-spotlight-review-worth-any-price.html

3. I would love to win a nook because I would love to have an e-reader but at this point I can’t justify spending the money on one. Thanks for the chance!

(OK, 2nd attempt at a comment)

1. The one thing I truly like about the nook is the sharing ability. A great way to introduce a great book/writer to friends and family. If I were to win, my first book purchase would be my favorite writer Walter Mosley's Bad Boy Brawly Brown: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?isbn=9780759547735&ourl=bad-boy-brawly-brown%2fwalter-mosley&itm=18&rv=1

2. My favorite post/review from thebookbinge.com would be Kindle vs. nook: Round 1 (specs): http://thebookbinge.com/2010/03/kindle-vs-nook-round-1-specs.html

I want to win because I hate carrying books around and can't see myself getting either a Kindle or iPad. I just love the nook for its form-factor, touchscreen and because I simply want an ereader.

2010-03-21T12:58:10.511-07:00

I like that the nook has five different font sizes. The first book I'd get is Dead in the Family http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Dead-in-the-Family/Charlaine-Harris/e/9781101187319/?cds2Pid=25184&inframe=y

2010-03-21T12:33:23.982-07:00

My favorite thing about the nook?? Tough to say. Probably the feature I like the best is that there is no glare or backlight, which means it reads more like a book than a computer screen.

This is the first book I would buy:

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Chelsea-Chelsea-Bang-Bang/Chelsea-Handler/e/9780446552448/?cds2Pid=17351

Why? Because I love Chelsea Handler, she is hilarious!

My favorite Book Binge Article:
http://thebookbinge.com/2010/02/review-something-about-you-by-julie.html

Why? Because I absolutely love Julie James and the author of the article summarized why JJ is such a great writer. Her books really do get better and better. I get excited every time she releases a book. This coming from a person who generally does not like books with lawyers or law enforcement type characters. It says a lot about JJ that her characters are so rich because she doesn't have a lot of steamy scenes, which I normally prefer in my books. But with her, I don't mind!

I would love to win the nook because I am a serious book junkie and I need to decrease my TBR pile. I am excited at the idea that I could fit all of my books into one convenient device!

1. The most appealing feature for me is the color covers.

My first purchase would be: New Peabody book by E. Peters! http://search.barnesandnoble.com/A-River-in-the-Sky/Elizabeth-Peters/e/9780061987960/?itm=1

2. My favorite review is Devil in Winter...I just love that book for every reason outlined there. http://thebookbinge.com/2009/10/author-spotlight-review-devil-in-winter.html

2010-03-21T07:40:45.375-07:00

1. There are so many things to love about the Nook, but I think my favorites are the ability to download a screensaver and color the Nook. That looks like fun.

I want to win this because I'm a book nut anyways and it would be nice to have a nice little electronic gadget to read them on. And this is more portable than regular books for someone like me who spends a lot of time in doctor's offices with a sick kid and needs to keep occupied!

2010-03-20T20:26:10.724-07:00

Hi Casee!

Well, I have only every seen the Sony models at Borders before nook came out in B&N stores. I wanted a Kindle for a long time but a major reason (besides price) that I didn't get one is because I had never seen it or played with it. The idea of the technology is great and fabulous and I was willing to sell my soul to Amazon, lol, but without seeing it, touching it, feeling the product in my hand, I continued to be extremely reluctant to part with the money.

The nook in stores is a serious no brainer. The stores have working models and you can use all the features on it. From downloading to changing font sizes/screensavers.

Now, I want one and if I can save up the money I can just go to my nearest BN and buy it without waiting for it to be shipped to me. But hey, if Amazon wants to send me a free Kindle, I'll take it!

2010-03-20T19:44:24.821-07:00

1. I like the "Lend eBooks to Friends" feature. I think it's cool to be able to let a friend borrow an eBook, just like you could with a paper-book. Here's the link to the first eBook I'd get.

2. My favorite post is "What Does It Say About Me? because I'm in the same boat. I'm a 30-year old woman who is addicted to YA! Good to know I'm not the only "grown up" checking out the YA section on a regular basis.

3. I want to win because I love the portability and convenience of an eReader. I am a newly obsessed vixen dying to get her hands on an eReader. I just read my first eBook on my iTouch but I need a bigger screen. And e-ink.

2010-03-20T19:17:42.348-07:00

My favorite part of the nook is that I can take my entire library of books with me on vacation and not have to worry about luggage restrictions! Not to mention that the personalization options will allow me to have a cute nook wherever I go. I have been lusting after the nook since before it came out and I working part time and seeing it on display every day is torture.

I think the first book I would buy on nook would be Percy Jackson’s Titans Curse (nook 3) because I just finished the second one. http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?store=EBOOK&WRD=titan%27s+curse+%28percy+jackson+and+the+olympians%2E%2E%2E That and pre-order Kelley Armstrong’s The Reckoning because I can’t wait for the 3rd book in the series. http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?store=EBOOK&WRD=the+reckoning+kelley+armstrong&box=the%20reckoni&pos=1

I really liked Holly’s Review of Slow Heat http://thebookbinge.com/2010/02/review-slow-heat-by-jill-shalvis.html and any of Casee’s reviews because her reading tastes are similar to mine, so I can trust that if Casee read it, I will prob like it, too.

I want to win a nook because my mom, who is not a reader, has been threatening to throw my boxes of books out, because they are taking up so much space. If I had a nook, I would never be under siege from my mom because I would only buy paper copies of books for my keeper shelf! I would love to be able to have a nook so I wouldn’t have to worry about space for my books. No more lugging my laptop around if I want to read an ebook! It would be an awesome thing to win a nook since I just got a new job and this would be a great thing to have on the commute.

2010-03-20T14:59:43.718-07:00

Third try at a comment, I keep remembering I forgot something. Okay.

1- I love the touchscreen idea and the fact its smaller then an ipad.

2- My favorite review is all the Meg Cabot ones... http://thebookbinge.com/2009/01/guest-review-princess-diaries-volume-x.html is a link to one.

3- I plan to purchase many MANY books for it, do I have to name one? Umm the first one would probably be one of Tricia Goyers Historicals

4- I will tweet, blog, Facebook, talk, etc... :) My blog is at http://www.EisleyJacobs.com and the post will be up Sunday March 21. Facebook is http://Facebook.com/EisleyJacobs/ Twitter account is http://www.twitter.com/EisleyJacobs and talk.. well unless you are big brother, I dont think I can link to that ;)

2010-03-20T14:55:33.664-07:00

I loved your set of interviews with Nalini Singh. (http://thebookbinge.com/2008/01/nalini-singh-love-affair-with-written.html) She's such a fantastic author, and I love what she described as her "hunger to read". I have that same hunger. And having a Nook would make it easier for me to indulge that hunger, because my library would always be with me, wherever I go. How cool would that be?

That being said, of course I would LOVE to win a Nook. I love that it's portable and all that. But the coolest part are the colored frames! :-)

The first book I would buy would be Nalini Singh's "Archangel's Kiss" because it's the only one of her books that I haven't read yet, and I've been waiting to buy it until I could get it on an e-reader. So that would be fantastic!!

2010-03-20T14:52:08.062-07:00

My best friend is getting a Nook and mentioned the lending feature, which I hadn't heard about, so now I REALLY want one! :D

The first book I would buy? Gah, so many. Um. LIAR, my top choice, isn't in eBook yet, so my second choice is BLEEDING VIOLET by Dia Reeves: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Bleeding-Violet/Dia-Reeves/e/9781416998662

I'll be honest, I'm not a regular reader, so I've just looked over some of your reviews. I've been curious about this book on and off, and your review really makes me want to finally read it! THIRTEEN REASONS WHY (http://thebookbinge.com/2010/02/review-thirteen-reasons-why-by-jay.html)

And I tweeted the contest. You can see it in my stream at www.twitter.com/jessicatudor

2010-03-20T14:46:19.660-07:00

I like that the bottom bit with the book covers is in color. It adds a bit of life to it so it's not dull and grey like the Kindle. Plus, now you can get those rear covers and make your nook look like springtime!

If I could buy a book, it would be Lindsey Leavitt's Princess For Hire because then I could get the pink cover and it would match! But it's not listed at B&N as an ebook so I think i'd pick up a copy of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter ( http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Abraham-Lincoln/Seth-Grahame-Smith/e/9780446571852/?cds2Pid=28407 ) but I don't think they'd have cover to match that one...

As for my favorite post, I like the one you did about believability ( http://thebookbinge.com/2009/11/believability.html ) because it helped me to see that the relationship in my book happened too fast and I needed to let things happen naturally. Now there's tension in my book and it makes the ending that much sweeter! I bookmarked that one.
