Reading the books I got was time well-spent if you ask me. I practically skipped break times just to finish one chapter without any distractions. It's a shame that since the Nook I am using is a company one, I cannot bring it home with me. Kinda sad, really.
I could buy a Nook for myself, but I can't order anything online as I require an American IP Address to even attempt an order for myself, though I could just jailbreak my own Nook or something.
