Folks have a Kindle, I've got the basic Nook (black & white, wireless net only - no phone connection). It holds more books than you'll ever need, Barnes & Nobles has a great selection, you can shop from a hot-spot or download books from your computer, it reads a wide variety of file formats (a big consideration for me as I read a lot of reports and other internet traffic; some formatting might be needed for text files), and it's cheap. Black and white with no glow light means the battery will last the length of an international flight from the US to Asia (with several connections) and the e-ink screen is as readable as a paperback's page.
So, I'm happy with it as a book (or a whole roomful of books) but I only use it for that. If what you want is a giant smart phone (connect anywhere to shop, color, lights, etc.) it's not the one. Course you can just carry a smart phone to do that stuff.
