What’s up for grabs?

TWO BARNES & NOBLE NOOK E-READERS ($259 each)

Not that we play favorites. But do you wanna know why the NOOK kicks the crap out of every other out right now? Visit NOOK FEATURES to find out why this baby sold out completely a month before Christmas and why it was on back-order until Feb 1st.

Two very lucky winners will each get a brand spanking new NOOK !

1. Simply post a comment on “WHY YOU WANT OR NEED THIS”…Be creative, original, honest, whatever you like.

2. Follow us on Twitter  http://twitter.com/myrealitytech and retweet the contest post. (Optional)

3. Follow us on Facebook My-Reality-Tech and re-post the contest on your bulletin. (Optional)

Even though Twitter & Facebook are optional, we will be picking one additional winner  from Twitter & Facebook to receive a $100 Gift card! We will then randomly draw all 4 winners LIVE on Thursday, Feb 18 at 10 PM E.T.!

    Thanks!
  • jonkolinski
    I want it because my back can no longer handle a backpack full of books. A Nook just makes sense. I (and my back) would really appreciate it.
  • Shane Ogletree
    To win the Nook reader would be a dream come true for me. I wanted this for christmas but they were all sold out. Then I wanted to get it for my birhtday last month but we couldnt afford to pay for our house bills, much less a gadget. If I get this, I will treasure it forever. Thank you for the opportunity.
  • lovelyssm
    Why I need the Nook?
    Because I have book collection that takes up half my apartment. I'm tired of having to pack them up into a dozen boxes whenever I move, which as a college student is very often. The Nook will allow me to take my books with me wherever I go, can't beat that!
    Combine this with the touch screen and B&N's enormous library and you've got a match made in heaven!
  • Michael Hunter
    Let the countdown begin!
  • Michael Spilewski
    Dear Myrealitytech.com,
    If I won the Nook e-reader I would give it to my mother for mother's day. She would absolutely love this gift because she reads so many books. Besides she deserves it anyways cause she's a great mom.
    Thank You,
    Michael Spilewski
  • Kelly Anne Davis
    I'm trying to win the NOOK for my daughter who is going on a yearlong trip to Tanzania to do missionary work. She wont have a lot of room for books, nor will she have much television or internet access. I want her to be able to download as many books as she could so that she could feel more comfortable while she is out there without her family.

    I'm also following on twitter and reposted on facebook.

    What a wonderful thing to have for those who love to read...

    Having lived in the Washington D.C. metro area years ago, I've grown to appreciate the contents of the Washington Post; its many articles and stories that are so meaningful in our American lives as well as the world we share with many. E-readers is a good way to bring this to me daily. As for books, I still prefer physically holding one and smell the paper it is printed on. Its the most intimate way to enjoy a good story. On the other hand, news, articles and informative writing is perfect for the Nook! Quick, uncluttered and easy to access. Such a device is such a luxury for me at the moment, but eventually I hope I may... Good luck to everyone who have entered the contest and good luck to those judging the contest. Wow, 172 comments!
  • Jane
    I need this because, as a library science graduate student, I am always salivating over eBook technology... but, as a library science graduate student, there's no way I can justify buying it for myself!
  • marla_j98
    I need this badly to read all my boos! I subscribed, am following and Rtweeted! :)
  • Been a tweeten an a retweeten
  • I usually have 3-4 books being read at a time. Mostly hardback. It would be a great deal easier to carry one of these babies around with me than 20 lbs of books. Think of the acres of Amazon rainforest I would be saving. Winning one of these would be so sweet considering my birthday is tomorrow!(19Feb2010)
  • Len Bacalzo
    Oh SURE, play the BIRTHDAY card! LOL Chris, you constantly crack me up! ;D
  • Deepthi
    I would love to win the Nook e-reader because I am a medical school student and the textbooks are really huge to carry around and this would be amazing to have so that I can look through and have all the books I need at my fingertips. thanks SO much for having this giveaway!
  • michellecox2
    I would love this! I work nights at a VERY boring job and would love to be able to read all the time!

    I would also like to surprise my wife with this. She works hard for us, and had been saving up for a Kindle at Christmas for herself, and then our water heater went out, and we both spent everything in our "slush fund" on the water heater. Being a parent is glamorous, being a homeowner is clearly an over sold dream! I miss being able to call a landlord and just sitting back for something to be fixed lol

    I would prefer the Nook over the Kindle, because Barnes & Noble gives discounts to educators and homeschoolers, so I like to support them as much as possible.
  • hrbeck
    I would love to have a nook because I'm an avid reader and I spend a lot of time in waiting rooms. Carrying heavy books around is impossible for me because I have to carry a huge purse that weighs about 10 lb at least, since I have medical supplies that go with me everywhere. I don't want to sound desperate, but I have never had an e-reader and could never afford to buy one for myself. So, it's win one or nothing for me. That's it, plain & simple. I'm not trying to win one to sell or give to someone else. This is a selfish plea on my own behalf. :)
  • deniseann
    I NEED THIS... I just had a baby on October 3rd 2009, and I haven't been able to get through a book not meant for a baby since!

    I want/need this because my husband and children are tired of tripping over my books. We are tired of the shelves being so full that the cat is constantly knocking the books onto the floor. We're tired of having to pack a full bag of books (and fitting it into the car!) when going on a trip. My daughter is tired of having to find 'which' book mommy is asking for (she's four) when there are stacks of books everywhere. I'm also tired of getting the pages ripped out by my baby when I'm trying to feed him. I've paid for more then enough library books! My husband informed me I need one, but it'll be years before we can ever afford to buy one! So I need to win one!
  • I fan you on FB too! I am gonna posted about it too!
    :) I want it!

  • Man, I need an e-reader because I have a hubby and 2 daughter and a son that are always stealing my books and reading them! I need something that has ALL my books in one place that they can't touch!
    Currently I use my iPod to read some books off amazon, but it is little and just not as good!

    Because some of my favorite books are so heavy and impossible to carry on the train or plane. Even the new Stephen King is huge.
  • I would give this to my daughter. I love to read, but she has more time to read. She's a great person, and this way she could read in style.

  • rebeccahansen
    This would help me to read more.my husband reads all the time I need help.
  • I need one of these so that I CAN LEARN TO READ...without getting a papercut! Oh, I guess if I was truly illiterate, I wouldn't be able to write this post...OOPS! Okay, that was my shot at humor. Honestly, these things are awesome and I'd love to win one!
  • KabawL
    I need this...

    because I'd like to surprise my wife with it. My wife had our first baby named Gavin on Oct 12th 2009. She loves reading but has a hard time doing it because of the whole: holding up the book, turning the pages, reading with the lights on thing. With this Nook E-Reader, it enables her to continue doing the two things she enjoys; being the best mother in the world and read read read. Gavin says, "Gooo Gooooo Gaaaa Gaa", something about how he'd like his mom to have this Nook E-Reader.

  • cloud10277
    Its so hard to get through a book when my son wants to flip through the pages with me. If I had a NOOK e-reader I could take it anywhere without the chance that the pages might get ripped out!
  • ahh! I've been eyeing it , and even fondled it in store. I've been travelling for work alot lately and an ereader has been high on my list.
  • I love reading, but the clutter of books is getting overwhelming! To win a Nook E-reader would eliminate that! Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
  • dolls123
    My daughter reads alot so she would put this to good use

This would be something great to use without having to leave the house. What a great giveaway. Thanks for the chnace.

    I need to win this for my Mother who is spending alot of time in the hospital with my Father that was burned 44% of his body in an industrial explosion at work. She needs something to help pass the time while he is in the burn unit.
  • tamialves
    I've been wanting to get one of these for a while now. I am a busy mom of two and feel like I live in my car! lol We drive from my son's games to my daughter's games, running for my farming husband getting parts and sitting in the fields waiting for him to make his rounds to deliver his lunch or parts he needs. This would be great to use as I am waiting and actually read a book! Also would help my impatience with the hubby as I sit in the car waiting for him in the fields and find my impatience building!! Just not much to do sitting at the edge of a field! I used to do a lot of reading but now the days fly by so fast there is hardly time to sit down and watch TV or catch up on the news plus too tired! Although that is the way of the world and I guess we need to adjust to it! Thanks for the chance!
  • scottheyboer
    I could really use this as we spend a lot of time in the hospital with my son and you can't even believe how boring it is!!
  • Cara G
    I would really love this because I have 2 little boys, and I love to read, and this would make it so much easier being that I don't have a lot of time to read!
  • Wow! 3G wireless, touch screen! This thing rocks. I really could use this simply because my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be. I'd love being able to increase the font and read a book again without having to find those reading glasses that just never want to be found when you need them.

  • I would really like to have the Nook, too. I enjoy reading but books get so flopsy. I like that there are so many choices for the Nook and it would keeps me from having to go to the library or book store. Like the other reader, I, too, have nerve damage. Mine is due to a hip surgery. I have three damaged nerves in my back/hip that has taken most of my mobility. I even have trouble sitting and lying down and am in constant pain so anything to make my life easier works for me.
  • Reeniebeanz
    I love books and I seem to buy quite a few every couple of months
    but I find that I have so little time to read them when I get home. During
    the summer I was pretty much bed ridden because of a broken ankle
    and meningitis but I got to read a whole lot more. Sadly since returning to work,
    I find that it's horrible trying to lug around books and most mornings
    I forget to grab them off of my night stand...bummer. I tried to keep them in the
    bathroom, but here comes my 6 year old invading my quiet time. I also am the owner of a crazy
    little Westie named Rose whose favorite past time is chewing up.....
    you guessed it... books! Double bummer. if I were to have this fantastic
    Nook, id be able to enjoy my books more, give my mind a great escape during
    my work day, and save human thoughts captured on paper from one deranged little pup.
  • genghiskhent
    Sure, I'd use the Nook to read books and other printed media. But I also could use it in my work as a teacher at a community college. Because I made the mistake of taking a bathroom break when the vote was taken, I was elected chair of our college's Technology committee. This task is sort of like being captain of the Titanic, but without the ocean breeze. Anyway, next year we have (gulp) accreditation and my task is to revise our tech plan. To do so, I need to have with me a lot of documents (prior plan, drafts of plan components, source material). I could lug around a laptop, but tne Nook is a lot lighter and easier to hold, and reads PDFs and has a MicroSD slot for additional storage. But I'm not all work and no play. During the blah blah blah of boring college committee meetings, I could use its WiFi or 3G to access my Google Reader and read my favorite blogs, like MyRealityTech.
  • diego17
    I would much prefer to download books than buy the paper ones. It is a waste of natural resources.
  • munksterman2
    If I win, I will immediately rip the thing apart and mod it to run android. This mod looks amazing, here's some more info for those interested: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/12/nook-run...

  • blueeyeleo
    I soo love to read but dont have much room to store books so this would be great for me. Also wouldnt have to make a 50 mile round trip to the nearest Barnes & Noble store.
  • I'm a woman on the run... and I need a Nook to keep up with me... sometimes I need chick lit to read in a waiting room at the allergist... other times I need computer manuals that are too bulky to lug around on airplanes.
  • Anne Zackery
    I need this E reader. I love to read long novels and so does my family, so this will be very useful for us all!
  • mcnaney
    I need this for work! I am on the phone all day and I am always losing my page on regular books when I get a call. With one of these I would be a happier, more productive employee!!
  • lindaw72
    We so need the nook because we have ran out of room on our bookshelves. I just told my hubby last night that we really need to clear out our bookshelves and donate the books!!!! This would be a great to minimize the clutter mess of books that we have... Pick me... pick me... pick me!!!!

    Plus my hubby put this on his wish list after all the research of all the ereaders - he wants the Nook!
  • Tammie C
    Wow. Great giveaway for those of us who love to read. I would love and treasure a NOOK e-reader. I have been an avid reader since I was about 8 years old (a wonderful thing I passed along to my children). I've been trying to read some of the classics in between the new release books I usually read. I just finished A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and it was awesome. I also love John Steinbeck and plan on tackling The Grapes of Wrath next. A Nook e-reader would be perfect for that endeavour. I'm also a fan and follower on facebook and twitter. Everybody have a great day!!

  • rjhunt
    I need this Barnes & Noble Nook E-Reader because 1 it rocks, but then I won't have 100's of books hanging around, trying to figure out what to do with them after they've been read! Holy Cow you have access to over a million titles, and you can share them (how awesome is that) and I love that you can choose a larger font.
  • My husband has been eyeing this for the longest time every time we go to a bookstore. He loves to read & so do I. I would love very much if he could have this for his Valentine's gift. :) For his birthday, one of the gifts I gave him was a book light since we both often read in bed before going to sleep at night. That way he doesn't have to steal mine. He also often reads the books I would convince him to read such as the Twilight series, and right now, The Time Traveler's Wife. But I'm re-reading it so I went to the library to borrow another copy for him. If only he had the NOOK... Sooner or later, whether we win it or buy it, I'm sure he'll have his very own NOOK where he'll have all of the books under his fingertips. :)

    I LOVE TO READ!! I would love to own a Nook eReader!! Avid fan of new technology & more efficient means to educate oneself! The Secret and The Four Agreements are my favorite books.

    I really would love one for my Mom. She just got out of the hospital due to pain that she has from a car accident and this may cheer her up. She loves to read and if she has got to go back in this would be a good tool to keep her mind on other things.
  • ladylisa1
    I figure if I had one of these I would actually read. I don't like to read very much and when there is a cool gadget like this I think I might just read more. When I went to Barnes and Nobles last week I saw this item and it is very cool. I really want to try it I know I would like it. Thanks I signed up for email and tweeting @ladylisa1

  • I want this because I want to join the 21st century. I haven't even joined the 15th century yet, I'm still lugging around my books in stone tablet form! Do you know how heavy that is to lug around!?

    MY BACK IS KILLING ME! ;) (thank you very much for this opportunity, I've been saving pennies for an ereader, but this economy is kicking my butt. This would be great for homeschooling my two kids, because the ebooks are so much cheaper than the paper ones, especially when you figure in shipping.)

    I want to win because we live in a super small Nebraskan town with a not so great library (they had Stephen King's It listed as a new book...yeah) and both my mother and I LOVE to read with a passion, and being so far away from town and a good library it's hard to pick up a good book, and with the Nook we could have wonderful books at the tips of our fingertips! :) Thanks so much for the giveaway!
  • I am a big reader and my books have become an issue in the house. What little storage is already over-flowing.. to be able to get rid of my books and have my own little library of books in the palm of my hand would be a great blessing and I would be in readers Heaven...not to mention that this is something that is not in my budget right now. Thank you for the awesome giveaway.

    To own a NOOK e-reader would be like having my own virtual mini library, right at the touch of my finger-tips!! That would be sweet! :)
  • Buying one for a mothers day gift to myself this year. If I win one from you I can spend the money on a spa day. Get my spa on and read off my new Nook while I relax. Mommy's bliss ;)
  • Nikki Marion
    The reasons the NOOK should be mine...Oh let me count the ways...
    I am a non-traditional student who has gone back to school after raising 3 kids on my own! I have always loved to read and I am always on the go between school, work, church, and other related activities. This would be an awesome tool for me on a scholastic and personal level. I didn't even know what a NOOK was until this contest, and now I know what it is, I GOTTA HAVE ONE!

    My twin 19 year old daughters are both expecting this year and this NOOK will make me a cool grandma!

    Not to mention the fact that I love Star Trek and this reminds me of the "PADD" they use on the show. (I'm really not a freaky trekkie geek- i'm "normal" I promise).

    I have a small house that can't fit anymore in it so I will become book deprived.

    Because it's the coolest thing I have seen in a long time!
    Thanks for the opportunity!

    I need this for all the times I wind up hurrying up to wait on the boys- I could be reading something while I sit through meetings, in the cars, or waiting at offices! This could be my way of reconnecting to the world I lost years ago! @FLboyzmom

    I'd like a Nook because I think it would be a good traveling companion.
  • I want/need one of these because I read A LOT! and so many books I read once and give away. Or intend to giveaway and on the shelf they sit and pile up. And soon I am overwhelmed with books everywhere. To be able to be more streamlined would be a blessing. Not to mention how much easier it would be when I want some books to take along

    I entered my email!

    I'd love to win this for my daughter who is a college student without a car that has to carry lots of books to & from her classes. It would be nice to upload her books into this so she can carry a Nook instead. Her back wouldn't hurt so bad at the end of the day...
  • angelabailey
    I really want this because I love books and I don't have a book shelf at home so I have books everywhere. With this I could have all my books in one place and take them ALL anywhere I wanted to go.

    I need this because Valentine's Day is coming up and I am single. Isn't that sad enough!??! Do I not deserve a wonderful present?! And also, as an English teacher, this gadget would work wonders in the classroom, not just for me, but for my students. I can 'lend' it out to them thus teaching them responsibility and the magic of future reading techniques. It would be an amazing award and my students would love it! Thank you!

    I could really use nook so I could read anywhere. I could take it here and use it there. I really like too read you see, please be a dear and award one to me!
  • To be quite honest I don't really need it, I'd like it for my wife who wanted one fro Christmas but couldn't get it. So like everyone trying to win it, I'd thought I would give it a try. Who knows, I might be one of the lucky ones..!!
  • Winning a NOOK would be really great. I am a supreme bookworm and nerd. I love ready fiction and non fiction. I am always carrying 400+ page books in my purse, because you never know when you'll have an opportunity to break open a book and read, buuutt carrying a book of that size in my bag is not always so great cause its always really heavy and weighs my bag down immensely. A NOOK would be the perfect solution!

    I also really love that B&N will let you lend out the books you purchase to friends. Not to mention the nook is easy on the eyes :)
  • I would love this so that I can read more and that it is more convienient.
  • katymorris
    Okay! Wow! What a giveaway! This is so cool. I've been wanting a Nook ever since they were available, but I was too late at Christmas. I'd love to be able to tote this around instead of all of the magazines, newspapers and books I lug all of the time! How sweet to be able to just have everything in one little package!

    I entered my email for the subscription and I confirmed it! I also follow you on Twitter now and reTweeted about the giveaway here: http://twitter.com/katygmorris

    Thanks! :)
  • The Nook Rocks!
  • E-readers, and in particular the Nook, are intriguing gadgets that I just can't justify the cost of right now. Definitely interested in trying one out someday whether it be by a spiffy keen contest, or when they come down in price some in the future.
  • Lisa
    I would love to have a nook. I have been researching the ereaders, and definitely feel that the nook is the best (for all the reasons already listed), plus I love the look of it! I am a HUGE reader-have read since I was a kid. I used to keep my own card catalog of the books that I read as a kid, because we had to drive to the library and there was nothing worse than getting to the library and home only to find out that I already read the book! Now as an adult, I am still reading as much as I can! I also have my kids reading alot. I would love to always have a book with us, so that I can read any chance I get. I am also planning on keeping some kids books on there for the same reason. I also belong to a book club, and would love to share books with them via the nook. And with my birthday coming up-what a great present!
  • We are a bookloving family of readers: Mom, Dad, Triplet Tweens & 14-year old Son and we promise to SHARE this Barnes & Noble Nook eReader, if we win one

    I want the NOOK e-reader because of the crisp text, five font sizes, "eNewspapers and eMagazines delivered fast and free via 3G wireless or Wi-Fi," over a million titles to choose from, (and thousands of free ones), and we can lend our books to friends, just like paper books. And, after she watched the video, its all my mom talks about.

    I want a Nook to take with me on trips to the in-laws.
  • dirg
    At first I thought I wanted one, now I think I need one because of the million available titles, virtual bookmarks, and adjustable text size. I can also read newspapers and magazines, buy a classy cover for it, I can lend books to friends and soon, if I forget my nook at home I can keep on reading with my BlackBerry. Trust Barnes and Noble to know how to do this right!
  • ClodVanTam
    I could really use this reader because with my eyes being affected by MS, it's sometimes very hard to read a book without looking for a magnifying glass to aid me. Being able to enlarge an electronic page is a fantastic help for those of us with eyesight issues.
  • I want to win a NOOK so I can give it to my mom. She wouldn't accept a NOOK from me if I purchased it for her, but she would accept it from me if I won it for her (she's crazy like that). So, I've got my fingers crossed that I can win it & bring my mom into the 21st Century where she belongs. ;-)
  • Opal Baker
    I recently won several ebooks and those ebooks opened the door to my love of reading again.Since I don`t have room for books,this nook would enable me to read,own,and enjoy books again.Which means,less stress,day dreaming,fresh ideas and peace within my mind.Reading helps me to escape reality and takes me into other worlds.
  • my_3_sons
    My youngest son keeps my on my toes - surprise trips to the ER and Children's Hospital. This would be great to keep in my purse for those unexpected trips. Not to mention the occasional trip for stitches with the 2 older boys.
  • I need and want to win a Nook because I've been wanting an e-reader for a long time and just can't afford it. I'm a middle school teacher and only a 3rd year teacher and I don't make much money, plus I just got married this year. I used to love to read but nowadays I hardly ever read for fun anymore. In fact this month is the first time I've read for fun in over 8 years. Too much school reading to do to allow time to read. I know if I had an e-reader like the nook I could get more time to read here and there because it would be easier to carry around and use than a book would be. I never seem to have one on me when I actually have the time. I researched all of them last year for a few months and tried to find affordable ones on ebay but it just couldn't be done. My wife has been out of work for a year. I want this ereader so bad, but bills are more important.
  • trin
    I would love to have a NOOK e-reader to catchup on my reading in style!
    With room for up to 1500 ebooks, that just might cover it through the rest
    of the year. Wow! Thanks for the fun.
  • spaznchick
    Well, I tend to lean towards the hoarder mentality and hang onto things "just in case." Such is the case with books. Lots of books. In case one of my kids need it for school, or I want to re-read, or a friend needs to borrow it. Boo on that! I need to get the Nook so that I can donate all of the books and get only what I need in one handy package! this is an amazing giveaway! Thank you
  • i want it because --- i love to read and i am a Sucker for Gadgets :)
    signed up and confirmed -RT'd - Fb Fan & shared
    now waiting and keeping Fingers x'd ;)
  • I need this so I can read while I hide from my 5 kids in the bathroom. It's the only peace I get during the day.

    I would love to win the nook for a couple of reasons: first, I've been an avid reader since childhood. Plus, I love gadgets...so a gadget for readers is irresistible to me! Second, I live in an apartment with limited space... I am running out of room for my books. This will help me save space!
  • Oh MY! What an AWESOME giveaway! This would be the BEST prize EVER??!?!?!

    Why do I want an ebook reader? That's SIMPLE, I LOVE to read!! I love to read EVERYTHING (currently reading Edgar Cayce (american prophet).

    Why do I NEED an ebook reader? That's not so simple. Because of finances I usually use our public library. However, our library just implemented a 1.00 fine for every "held" book that isn't picked up within 3 days. My problem comes in with this new 1.00 fine for every book not picked up. I suffer from severe Crohn's disease, and sometimes my condition makes my life miserable. When this happens, I have a very difficult time leaving my house, let alone going to walk in the library to pick up books. Crohn's disease makes it almost impossible to leave the house on certain days...and I've found myself unable to use the public library very much because of this condition.

    If I had this ereader, It would be so wonderful to be able to download/read books from the INTERNET, instead of suffering from library fines, and trying to leave my house during Crohn's disease issues.

    This would make my life so much easier, and the life of my children!! They could use it too! It would be SO awesome!

  • murphykatt
    I really want and need this! we've moved a coulpe of times in the past few years and now we're moving again and each time I've had to shed more of my precious books!

    I would certainly love to with the Nook e-reader. I love to read. I have books in every room of our house. My friends give me books for Christmas and my birthday. So many books, so little time. I just bought another bookcase for my books that I have yet to read. The Nook e-reader would be the ideal solution to the mounds of books that continue to grow. One very convenient place to keep all my books and so convenient to take with me if we were to go on a vacation rather than using 1/2 the suitcase for books.
    Thanks for hosting this terrific contest
  • So . . . my main reason for wanting a Nook is because I love the idea of having immediate access to hundreds of publications without the need to add to my paper clutter. The Nook makes reading comfortable and accessible while helping me to minimize my carbon footprint. Additionally, a little bird told me all the benefits of the Nook over the other e-readers on the market.
  • Theresa Bergeron
    When I travel, it would be so much easier to take a bunch of books on a Nook instead of carrying 8 or 10 print book with me!

  • jeff68512
    My wife is pregnant with twins, so so we will have 5 kids in the house. I need the nook to read and relax at night, so I can sleep.....until someone crys....lol
  • fezzik77
    My wife has a Kindle and is constantly reading. I found the ereader to be a great way to read since for me carrying a book or bunch of books around with me is not much of an option and I would have down time where I could read but not so much at home. At home when I have down time I need to be studying or cleaning. The Nook is tied to Barnes and Noble which is my favorite bookstore for the simple reason that it carries more technical and computer books. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and reading is one of the things that is difficult for me. Having a device like the Nook would add an extra dose of stimulation and cool to reading which would help me focus better on reading, also it would allow me to read acording to my attention span and have more opportunities to read through the day. Recently my wife left me which has put my finances in a bunch. It is going to take quite a while for me to be in a place where I can drop $259 at one time for a device as cool as it is that would help me read. Nook is a Linux based e-reader which for me is a major source of excitement. Finally soon I will be going back to school trying to manage my ADHD and build a life that I can be proud of, the Nook would allow me to carry a lot of books in a small package and allow me the ability to study for certifications along side the classes that relate to them helping me both understand the class better and putting me in position to add certifications to my degree to boost marketability.

    The Nook to me is the coolest e-reader device released to the market both in form and function and in the store behind it. I have been extremely excited about it but as I stated money is a huge factor for me. Occasionally buying a $10-$20 book is one thing but dropping $259 plus either shipping or sales tax is quite another all together. I would get a lot of use out of this device and it would help me rebuild my life and progress in areas where I struggle because of my disorder.

    Would it help if I Buzz you as well?

    I really need this. My reason may sound like this kid in shcool who needed an excuse for missing homework but my dog eats my books. I swear he knows when I am getting to a good part and chews it up.
  • ohioohio
    I'd like a Nook because it will complete me. Everything will be all unicorns, cotton candy and rainbows all the time. I'll be ever so happy with my Nook by my side, and all of those books and newspapers and such will make me that much smarter. Gee whiz please pick me, pick me!!
  • Katmagick
  • I need this Nook. My wife has a Kindle. I bought it for her for Christmas and she has become a very big proponent. If I get a Nook it will promote marital dischord, and marital dischord is important. Plus I heard it was pretty neat.

    I wanted a kindle until I read the reviews for the Nook-E Reader. Now I would like the Nook. I need something to pass the time when I am in waiting rooms. This is so much better than an actual book. Easier to take with and such. Will be doing all the entries!
  • Kitty
    I read way too much and the amount of books in the house is overwhelming. This would allow me to have some control over my space.

    Thought of one million
    crisp shiny stories inside
    one tablet mind blown

    I would love a nook because as a child I used to fall asleep surrounded by books. I would go to the library and take out as many as they would allow and as many as I could carry.
    Needless to say, this was not the most comfortable way to rest, waking up with indentations.

    But, somehow it was like the stories infiltrated my dreams and wove themselves into them. Ever since then, I've been an avid reader. I used to go to bookstores like the Bodhi Tree in Los Angeles and come out with a pile of books. It felt like I had the world in my hands.

    These days I am helping out my Mom, so I live in a room that's really not that big and I probably couldn't fit all the books into it that I would love to read. A nook would be so perfect. I could at a mere touch download anything and everything. I could take it with me wherever I go and read while I wait at doctors' offices or am on the subway. It would be a little bit of heaven. And, most of all, if I fell asleep while reading, I would have a lot more room in the bed for me.

    Thanks for a great giveaway.
  • Jennifer
    I would love to give this to my father who is always on a plane going somewhere and misses sitting down and enjoying something good to read. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
  • Jaclyn Reynolds
    I'd love one for my husband, he hardly treats himself to anything and he deserves it for all he does for our family. :)
  • I need the Nook because I LOVE having new Tech gadgets to play with and also having an E-Reader would cause me to read more.
  • Dumaurier
    My husband is in the military and is gone a good 6 months out of the year. They tell you pack lightly and only bring essential items, but books are essential to him...they keep him sane! He'd love to be able to avoid the extra weight that books cause, and have all his favorite novels contained in once device. I'd be just as happy knowing he'd have a great form of stress-relief!
  • I would really love to have a Barnes and Nook E-Reader. I asked Santa for one for Christmas, but Santa had to take care of this single and disabled mom of three children's Christmas presents , so Mommy did not get one in her stocking. I read all the time and my paperback and hardback book library is getting out of hand, having an E-Reader would allow me to clear out books and stop having to buy paper based books anymore.
  • I had not registered first so here is my comment again: Why do I need this? I honestly dont read enough and I know this would make reading a bit more fun so to speak.
  • I listed the contest on my facebook page for an entry.
  • When comparing e-readers, I have to say
    I love the Nook for its touch-screen display
    And the ability to loan out a book
    A feature indigenous to the Nook
    Too bad we can't charge overdue fees
    To my own library, I've paid many of these
    And within two weeks, my book comes "home"
    No need to send Vito to bring back my tome
    There's another reason for my Nook-lust
    Wi-Fi capability is a must
    Just a hot-spot and I'm all set
    Anywhere with internet
    The only accessory that would make it tops
    Would be a waterproof cover for those "oops" bathroom drops.

    In all reality, I'd love the Nook and the ability to bring my library with me wherever I go and share books with other Nookers.

  • heathertruett
    WOOT! I retweeted already. And I just signed up.

    WHY do I want a Nook? Um, why wouldn't I want it? Why do I NEED a Nook? B/c I read. A lot. Everywhere. And I help with Book club. And I love audio books. And I write. And I have children who love books. And my husband is in school for his M.Div. And I help run media at church, so knowing new media is VERY important. *wink* And, let's see? I can just make up reasons if it means you will give it to me. *snicker* I need a Nook b/c I have black hair? B/c I was Kentucky's Tiny Miss 1984? Because I have a cute puppy named Benjamin? Because my best friend is pregnant? And so is my sister?

    er.... Convince you yet.
  • I'm a full time student! Most of my textbooks are available in PDF form, and with a Kindle I could skip the whole daily bookbag carrying thing.
  • Bump. Forgot to register first.
  • I would love to have this a need this as I am disabled and mobile bound due to a hearnia operation that went bad and caused nerve damage in my groin. I love reading just about everything on just about everything. It has opened the world for me in ways a mobile person can. This nook would help enrich my life in more ways. I also and a Android lover and follow news on it nd am tickled the Nook has the Android O.S. to run it.
  • Wow! Just reading the words "nerve damage in my groin" made me want to curl up into a ball and maybe cry a little. If I had a vote (which I don't; it's a random drawing, sorry) I would vote for you.
  • Just yesterday my wife and I agreed to read the same book and discuss it. The Nook would allow us to only buy one copy of the book, I believe, and share it. Much better than buying two copies.
  • I need it. My wife is constantly gloating at me about her Kindle! I need to one-up her!
