"Great e-reader without the extra $80 for a "Prime" sub"
5.0 starson by pepperpupPros: - Excellent readability
- Sized right (vs. larger 10" screens)
- Smooth, stable OS (hasn't hanged since I bought it)
- Handles wide variety of e-book formatsCons: - Battery = 1 week with WiFi shut off
- Slow-ish web browser
- No multimedia sub partership built in (e.g. Blockbuster, Hulu, etc.)Summary: Many people b^$%@ that the NC can't do apps, e-mail, web, skype, etc. like an iPad or Android-based tablet can. It's like downgrading a non-3D TV because it doesn't do 3D. The NC is 'primarily' designed and sold as an e-reader, and a great one, first and foremost. Want to do those other things? Then, 'buy' a $400 - $600 tablet, not a $200 e-reader. Want a 3D TV, then buy one.

Wrong product. This review page is for the 8GB Nook Tablet, not the Nook Color (NC). They are different machines with different specs.
