          Probably but I shall miss the "feel" of reading a book the Nook fails to provide though.

                  While I appreciate the advantages of ebooks, I love my 'real' books and would never want them to dissappear. There's something warming about shelves and shelves and shelves of books.

                    Are you "off the grid" as well?

                    For certain kind of book, where you need to go back and forth often (reference, Bible, etc) e-books don't work so well, yet. But for novels and whatnot, it's far superior.

                        Indeed those are great, but on a personal anecdote, far easier to have a physical Bible than an electronic one (well except if you are just reading through without going through footnotes or going back and forth to look at any references).

                              Seriously.. it's like saying you'll never buy an mp3 because you don't trust Apple or Amazon who sells them to you.
