The Barnes & Noble Nook
I did it. I took the plunge and purchased a eReader. A friend of mine received a Kindle 2 for her birthday (or something) and I looked at it and liked what I saw.

So it's back. As you can see, I can't keep things in one spot. I like to tinker! So…So!?!? That's the way my mind works. I love to mess with things and my website(s) is no different. The problem was is that I couldn't leave things well enough alone for an extended period of time.
