I'am new to this stuff,With cloud storage do you need to be connected to the internet to watch movies or read books stored?What about the sd card with the nook?Sorry for the dumb questions.Thanks
No need to be connected to read books. Books are generally very small and you can store thousands on an e-reader if you desire. I don't watch movies on an e-reader - that's why I've got a big-screen TV.

We were caught in a three hour wait because of an accident. No detour and no way to go back so we waited. Wife had her iPad with a couple of movies on it. PERFECT. It's not big but when it's the only show in town it's great.
If your flight is delayed an hour or two, a movie makes the time go by.

Nook...Kindle...back and forth. Simple solution. Apple iPad and read from both along with every other source of books available. With the Nook Color and the Kindle Fire it seems to me you've lost the only advantage to dedicated e-book readers in the e-Ink for basically small crippled, cheap tablets locked to their respective stores.


For DW and I, a tablet is to big and don't need the functions. want something small enough to easily carry, and cheap enough that if we loose it or it breaks it's a throwaway. fire (or Nook) does everything I want in a reader, If I want to use a PC I have a very nice small netbook that I prefer over a tablet.
