You easily can order via services like USUnlocked.com.
Usually, it's about 10% uplift. Don't forget about customs and VAT though. Over all, the original price in Dollar will end up around the same in Euro (fee, shipping, customs, VAT). |

Thanks. I've also heard good things about comGateway (http://www.comgateway.com/).
Will wait and see how the January / February update goes. |

Some people have reported that their rooted NOOKcolors are getting factory reset upon B&N shop access.
Something to keep an eye on... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873975 |

If you are having no problems, that's good. Still, it's something to keep an eye on because rooting the device is likely a grey-area issue.

Why not try a Pandigital Novel? At $60, it's worth a go. Kohl's also has a very liberal return policy.

If you can get a Pandigital for a really good deal, it might be worth it. I played around with the 7" novel sold at QVC (overpriced), and while I liked the form factor, 4:3, the screen caused a lot of eye strain and pain. It might be a different experience for others.
My wife has a Nook Color now and the screen on that is amazing. I have an Archos 70 and while the screen isn't as crisp as the Nook, it works well as an ebook reader, especially with the brightness turned down to 0 and its been a more than adequate tablet. |

If a resistive screen isn't a deal-breaker for you, I would recommend the Craig 7" tablet. I got mine at CVS. It was $100, and can be easily rooted to run Android 2.1. (There's a custom ROM for 2.2, but it's not 100% stable yet.)
Just keep in mind 2 things: 1) Buy it from somewhere local, as you might need to exchange it. They've had some QC issues. 2) It's $100, so don't expect an iPad. |
