N.S.
I got the Nook Color last Christmas and LOVE it! My 4 year old daughter loves it too! I agree with other posters that it comes down to personal preference of Amazon vs. Barnes and Noble. I've always gone to Barnes and Noble and am also a member so that was really no question. Plus, at the time Kindle didn't have a color tablet and B&N did. But I too like having a store to go to if I were to ever need help with it. They have classes on how to use it too.
