Whenever I go out of town on a road trip or by plane I always like to carry reading material to pass the time. Except I always hated having yet another thing to keep up with.

my worst packing woes was when I was traveling around Oregon for a month. I love to read and I normally take a whole duffel bag of books with me as extra luggage. my mom was griping the whole time about the lost space of we lost all that space because of your books. well if I had a nook I would not need my trusty duffel bag anymore. It would fit in my huge over sized purse and would be all I needed.

I’ve always been an overpacker. I’m working on it. I’m interested in reading books as I travel, but I’d love to be able to have all of my books on an ultra slim device. If I have to lug around too much, I get stressed and bothered!

The Nook would help with packing because I wouldn’t have to drag a huge book on the plane with me in my laptop back, the book ends up getting messed up it’s bulky and it would be great to have a compact way of reading on the plane and when I get to where I’m going.
My problem is trying to pack things to keep my kids entertained both in the car and whenever we get to where we’re going. An e-book reader would solve that problem, as they all LOVE books, and of course, so does mommy!

Where do I begin?!?
I absolutely must have reading material with me when I travel. My problem is I take too many books / magazines with me. (My husband actually got a little miffed with me last time. Not the best way to start a vacation, but hey! I need my books!)
You have no idea how sharp the corner of a book is until it drops out of your packed arms onto your toes. Ouch! But as I said before… I need my books! :->

I am an avid reader…there is no where I go without a book in tow. Whether it travelling or an appointment or to the beach..there is always a book in reach. My husband realized how many books I own when we moved last March. I had 23 boxes of books! I knew then that I had to scale down my collection. I miss having my books handy. I can read them over and over again. A nook would solve that problem and keep me reading every chance I got.
My worst packing woes is really having about 10 huge boxes of books in storage which I pay 200 dollars a month for. But..can’t part with the books!!
One of my worst packing woes, was when I tried packing for the birth of my twins. It was horrible. I wanted to bring several of my books and magazines, but some of the edges were torn in the process of my packing them in my bag.
Hugs and Mocha,

My worst packing experience was last summer coming home from a 7 week East Coast trip with my 2 kids. I was sure I packed light. However, once I got to the checkin curb I was told I was almost 20lbs or $100 over weight. In these bags were also magazines & books that I intended to read on the 8 hr trip as well as when I got home. Needless to say, I suffered the humiliation of having to so much stuff out, at the curb, and send it back with my mom to ship UPS. I did not want to leave my beloved mags & books, so I shoved them into my kids backpacks and made them carry them to the gate. Talk about upset & embarrassed. Lol. I hate packing! I ALWAYS over pack. Even during trip to the Bay Area (1.5hrs) , if I am not the driver, I have books shoved into the sides of the seats. You would think I am going to the moon!
I am sure that my kids, my husband & definitely myself…would all enjoy another way for me to always have some of my beloved books on hand in a more “confined” manner. So if you choose me you will make 4 people happy in one house!

When my four year old and I left the states to join my Army husband in Germany, I tried to pack as much as I could in my carry-on. I was an avid reader and crossword puzzler, so those items always traveled with me. After 9 hours of flying, my son and I were beat! I unpacked a little and when my son fell asleep, I decided to do a little reading in bed. I pulled my bags apart trying to find the book and puzzle mags I was sure I’d packed but they were nowhere to be found. I’m sure the fatigue and jet lag contributed more than a little when I started to cry but it was a tragic event to me that I’d forgotten to pack them.

I have two toddlers and for some reason I am suppose to pack their clothes with mine. I don’t have space for books as it is being utilized by bath toys and butt cream.
I think every trip I take is the worst. It’s so exhausting just getting out of the house. I have four boys and packing four boys… ugh.
I’d love the nook. It would lighten my load. Over Spring Break last week, my husband just cringed as he saw five books go into my suitcase.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I have to travel with work sometimes and this would keep me busy on the go and allow me to pack less.
Thanks!
The nook would allow me to leave my books at home when traveling, that’d be nice.
I work in the seasonal industry and do a lot of reading as I work nights. This would be great as I don’t have room to pack many books.
My worst packing woes include bringing textbooks and my huge 17″ laptop! This would definitely be less of a strain on my back!
I usually overpack on clothes for the wrong weather or pack a bunch of pants and only a couple tops. The nook would be a dream to take along, our whole family would enjoy it!
I tried to take enough beach reading books to Florida without realizing the new airline rules. I had to leave my books at the airport – I spent over $100 but wasn’t going to pay $50 to check them each way. Oh well – now I go to the library when I get there.

I think first and foremost you’re luggage would weigh a LOT less without a bunch of books. I hate packing books
I always pack way too much stuff and my carry on is jammed with reading material. I get stuck carrying this heavy bag all over the airport. This would make my bag so much lighter. Now I could have the Nook and a couple of magazine. Much better idea.

I always pack too much. The Nook could help me pack less.
I am a voracious reader. When I pack for a trip, I generally bring paperbacks since I can easily go through a book a day (especially in the airport, on the plane, on the beach, in my hotel room at night). To make things lighter along the way, I just leave the completed book for someone else. So you might find my books in the pocket of my airplane seat, or in the drawer of my hotel room. I hope you find it a nice surprise. But I think I am ready to change my trip planning, and the weight of my luggage, with The Nook!
On a recent trip, we spent $300 in baggage fees with our daughter’s car seat, our carryons, and one piece of checked luggage. It was so expensive! A Nook would greatly reduce the items we carry! Thank you!
I visit my folks a few hours away on a semi-regular basis, and I always take my toddler with me. This means bags of my clothes, her clothes, my husband’s clothes, her toys and gear, my personal stuff… It’s hard getting it all in one car. I pretty much never take anything to read, even though I am usually in the middle of 2-3 books at any given time. It’s just too much to deal with!
BUT, with a nook I’d be set! I wouldn’t have to think about which book to bring, I could bring everything I’m reading at once! It would be so wonderful not to worry about space, too.

I t would definitely make me pack less books, which are SO heavy
Reading is a passion of mine. When I travel I am limited in the amount of books I can take. I can easily read several books in one trip as I read on the plane, in the hotel, by the pool and in the bathtub. A Nook would allow me to pack one item and have unlimited books at my disposal. I so need a Nook!

My husband works for an airline and we always travel standby so I never, never check any baggage because there is always the chance that your bags will go and you will stay. We have really learned how to pack light, so bringing more than one book just would never happen. A nook would be fantastic! I could read a book on the way and then another on the way back.

The worst thing is when you have to check your bags that you thought would be carry-on because you stuffed them too much!
I usually go on sight seeing or activity driven trips, so I haven’t had any issue packing reading materials. But I am about to embark on a full week of getaway to Tahiti. I didn’t plan on doing much other than enjoying the beauty of the island and just relax. I have a couple titles in my mind that I want to bring alone with me, with the nook, it will fit all my reading materials in one small and compact device, makes my luggage a lot lighter, and the trip more enjoyable.

I guess my worst packing woes were at Christmas when we were returning from England to the US. I wasn’t well enough to do the packing so my husband had to do it which meant that no suitcases could be opened until arrival because he doesn’t quick pack as well or neatly as I do and it risked all spilling out, and we left stuff behind. I had wanted to borrow a couple of books from the people we were staying with and I couldn’t because there wasn’t room so the nook would have helped to resolve this!
trying to fit everything in a carry on bag for the flight if I’m flying. i love to read but you can’t fit that many books so this would be an amazing help.
I have 2 year old twins and can’t even begin to tell you all of the stuff that we have to lug on a trip. Car seats, toys, potty training stuff, snacks, juice, and the list goes on and on. My boys have slowly taken over most of the space in my luggage so I have given up taking my own books, magazines, and even my laptop/SLR camera on some trips. If I can remember I will download a podcast to my iphone, but that usually does not happen either. They still go to bed early so I usually find myself surfing the channels to find something to watch to pass the time.

My worst packing nightmare is when I travel with my husband. I always overpack when we travel together. I guess I want everything to go smoothly and stress out about what I’m packing for both of us. Having the nook would mean one less thing to stress about. I wouldn’t have to choose three or four books to take, they would all be with me on the nook. Thanks.
On my last trip to see my family, I packed ten books. It cost me time and money at the airport for an extra bag of books. If I had a reader, it would have been so much easier and less costly to travel with books.
I can’t even go away for the weekend without taking a minimum of five or six books. This would take a lot of weight out of my suitcase. (Keep in mind my DH has the same reading habits as I do.)
I moved to Tennessee and had to pack 11 boxes of books. I drive a measly Ford Ranger. Had to make a trip from Florida to Tennessee JUST for my books. TWO TRIPS just to move because of my stupid books.
Had to move from Florida to Tennessee. I drive a measly Ford Ranger. I had 11 boxes of books. Had to take TWO separate trips just to move my junk, thanks to my godawful stack of books.
I can never decide WHICH books to bring, so I end up bringing too many and that takes up precious room. I looked at my suitcase, then at my pile of books, and taken my backup shoes out to make room for books. I hardly read all of them, and you can bet the backup shoes would have come in handy! The nook would really help me free up room.
Because we have to carry medical equipment, traveling with carry ons-only doesn’t work unless we’ll be gone for just three or four days. That means long delays checking and retrieving luggage when we are away from home longer. Anything that lightens the load helps. Thanks so much for the offer!
I always pack too much “entertainment” because I hate flying. I have suduko books, crossword books, travel size games, ipod, magazines, 2-3 books; so I usually have a hard time either packing all of these things or having to decide what to do away with (which is usually nothing and I overpack). :/
I’m a ‘just in case” type of packer. I bring everything so I can have the comforts of home. I took one book and five magazines on the plane for an overnight trip! Add the laptop, camera, wallet, sunglasses, snacks, bottled water, travel blanket and sometimes fuzzy socks and you have all the makings of a backache.

hi well my worst packing woe is i always pack way to much! and i am an avid reader so i always pack a few books for every trip , it makes for heavy traveling !! i would use this alot!
On the last trip my husband and I went on, I blew out the zipper on my carry-on bag mainly because of the hardcover book I had and a backup paperback book in case I finished the first one. We had a long flight and I didn’t want to be without some kind of reading material. I ended up spending most of the flight trying to keep everything from falling out of my carry on and had to buy a duffle bag at the airport for the plane ride home.
A nook would have saved the day and my poor carry on.

MY WORST PACKING WOES WAS GOING ON A VACATION AND MY LUGGAGE NOT ARRIVING
Oh packing! I always wait ’till last minute, I dread it. And now that they charge for luggage? I only carry 1! The nook would help me tremendously, as I always tend to carry not just one book, but at least 2 or 3 so I can choose whatever suits my mood.
Thanks!
I always pack at least 2 paperbacks when I go on a plane trip just in case I don’t like one, but what if I don’t like either of them; or what if I have a really boring trip and read both? Then I am faced with nothing to read. The e-book is the perfect solution. It won’t take up as much room as even one paperback.
Packing for myself and 3 kids is always a challenge and if we are taking our dogs? even more packing dilemmas and stress.
Ugh packing, well just fitting all the kids’ stuff in the bags, toys, clothes, etc is a pain never mind reading material, this would be so helpful, thanks!

Worst packing woe, being overweight with my checked bag because of all the books I pack
I usually take a book along on doctor appointments. I don’t like to carry a large novel to the doctor’s office and this would lighten the load.
First of all, I always pack too many clothes for my husband and I; I never know what I’m thinking when I bring most of them home not worn. Because of all the room my clothes take up, I end up carrying my books with me and shuffling them around the whole time. Having a nook and learning to pack less clothes would definitely help me while I’m traveling! Thank you!

I love books, and they’re a must on trips. The problem is trying to keep up with the wt and size limits for carryon and checked bags. Sometimes a carryon limit is 15 lbs. I remember having to repack carryons in an airport. A nook would transform my on the go reading. Would be a constant companion.
I am actually a pretty good packer, I have it down to where I can pack right up to the 50 pounds allowed. But my books I always have to carry in my backpack. This would be an awesomes win, I would have all my reading material without the huge weight on my back!

Worst packing day was trying to pack up three kids under three and a husband to go see my mother 500 miles away. By the time we got it loaded in our little car we were lucky if we could squeeze in the car keys to the ignition! I would love this nook to save my back from the library runs
I dislike trying to fit all my clothes in one bag to save on baggage fees. This nook would be great to read while in the airport or on the plane.
My worst packing woes are trying to decide what will be needed
I invariably pack too much. Which means schlepping a ton of suitcase around!
You don’t even WANT to go into my worst packing woes!

I’m a petite woman who is always carrying books. I work fulltime and go to school, so I’m always carrying around at least one text book and one recreational book. A Nook would probably save me from future back problems.
My biggest woe is finding things to pack to keep me occupied in down time. Like at the airport or just relaxing back in the room or even on the flights. This reader would be awesome because it is easy to carry and would give me something to read. But better than a book because I would have so many options of things to read!!

Between us and our children, there is so much to pack. Then, there is the bag with all the “to do’s” while travelling. Included are all kinds of books to keep everyone busy. This device would definitely give us more room when travelling.
I have to pack for 6. The worst is for myself. Like my mom, I have to have several changes just in case an outfit won’t fit the mood. A nice book is a great thing to have when travelling. The nook looks thinner than a lot of books and that’s a big help in itself. And then to know that I can have several books? That would be great!

Sometimes when I go on vacation I can’t pack all I want because the bag will be over weight and I don’t want to pay the extra. We try to pack as few bags as possible for the 4 of us because of the airline fees
packing has gotten out of control once solo travel turned into travel for a family of four, and I am responsible for all of the packing! We all bring our own books…imagine how easy it would be if we had two of the nook e-readers, we could take turns reading our choice of hundreds of books stored on them. it would be great, and make my trip preparations much easier!
Here’s a bad packing dilemna my family and I have now…too many books/ magazines/ newspapers, etc! They feel like they’re taking over the cars and we have backs full of them everywhere! I like to do puzzles and read papers and magazines (and books), the hubby is always reading thick (and haevy) trade journals and the kids have their board books and chapter books! Ugh!
The Nook sounds like the perfect answer!
Thanks for the truly AWESOME giveaway!!!

Thanks!!!
beside going to the library once a week carry at least 4 books with me, i will not go outside with out a book with me, you never if you are going to get stuck somewhere so i always have a book to pass the time
My worst packing woe is trying to figure out which things I can bring on the plane, and how big the bag can be, and diving up my stuff according to that . . .etc. If the Nook could help at all, I’d love it!
Packing for 5 is a nightmare, so it’s usually the bare minimum, no room for the “extras.” I would love to be able to shove an e reader in my purse and go..something for “me”
Im also a facebook fan
When I travel overseas, I try to bring only a carry on since I fly standby and my luggage could disappear. So, I always have more things to take than carry on room!

My favorite vacation is beach and books. I could take a months worth without hurting my back.
My husband INSISTS on taking his own bedding on vacations, which takes up a whole Suitcase, This might help me organize and lighten things up a bit. Thanks for the chance.

My biggest packing woe is trying to fit enough stuff for my family into one suitcase when we fly. The primary problem: I’m cheap and don’t want to pay the extra charge for multiple bags when we travel. This can be quite the challenge when traveling with a child under the age of one. Space Bags have become my best friend, but I’m sure the Nook would quickly trump them in BFF status

It’s really not what I pack to take, it’s finding room for what I buy and bring back.
I love to travel but I also love to travel light. I would love to read on the plane but I just can’t handle the weight (or luggage space) of carrying multiple books with me when I am backpacking.
I never know what I’m going to be in the mood to read (I’m usually reading five different books at one time). With the Nook, I could “pack” a book for every mood. What could be better than that?
I never know what book I’m going to be in the mood to read (I’m usually reading five different ones at a time). With the Nook I could “pack” them all. What could be better than that?
boy, i’d like this
I always overpack and include books, so this would really help.
My worst packing is what I am still going through this past year after moving 1200 miles away with only a car for transporting stuff. It’s taken a few trips and even then, most of my books are still 1200 miles away!
I have four small children so my packing woe is getting all the necessary diapers/wipes/snacks, etc. packed on the plane! The Nook would fit in the bag so much better than a few books!
Worst packing woes with books is which one will I be in the mood to read. Also which language/translation dictionary to take since space is limited. Now I can take ALL my books and dictionaries and travel guides and pictures and maps. WOW, one small space, so now I have more room for gifts on the way back. YA.

Thank you for the giveaway. My problem is everyone else (ie:kids and hubby!) putting their stuff in my purse or suitcase where there isn’t much room for my stuff so I usually have to carry by hand.
My daughter asked why my purse was big and heavy once and my answer was because I had to have everything in it so I was prepared for everything. It seems I am prepared for everything a child could need but never for a down moment for myself. Sometimes if the baby falls asleep in the playground before I can get her back home I could rest and read a few pages before I became super mom again!

I HAVE THREE KIDS 10, 4, AND 2 SO IT WOULD BE NICE ON TRIPS IF I DIDN’T HAVE TO PACK BOOKS FOR EACH AGE GROUP, IT TAKES UP SO MUCH ROOM IN THE CAR.

I carry extra bottles of water (sigg bottles) and at least one book in case my hubby starts talking to someone while I wait in the car. It would be nice to have choices of what I might like to read.
When the kids were small, it seems my hands were always full of my stuff and theirs, yet I had to have my book with me on trips. I finally sewed myself a book cover with carrying handles which helped somewhat.

I love to read but unfortunately when it comes to packing to go somewhere- books are not at the top of my list because they just take up to much room and are to heavy and bulky to lug around. Even when it comes to just taking the kids to the dentistt or soccer practice-this would be the perfect thing to bring along to read while waiting. Winning this E-reader would be great because I could have all the books I wanted on this one little thing and be able to carry it in my pocketbook. Having one of these would be the best thing ever
My worst packing problem is trying to fit everything into a carry on bag for the airplane. I try to avoid checking luggage since now most of the airlines I fly charge you for it – but the limit on size for carry on bags is so tiny! I usually have to do a lot of paring down in order to make it.
Thanks!
My heavy travel days are done now, but I do pack multiple books whenever I am away from home. When I am on a plane, that can be a real problem, especially now with all the limitations. Being able to carry those I want to read electronically would save space, hassle with airline regulations, and weight in my bags!
Two children potty training at the same time means A LOT of stuff to carry around (changes of clothes, wipes, snacks, etc), I’d love a nook to always have a book with me for those brief moments of ‘Mommy time’.
There is no room in my diaper bag for much, especially a new hardcover book or two!
Worst packing woe was when I was moving from an apartment to my current house. I had packed with mostly a number of medium sized boxes that had been re-used, so the contents were confusing. Long story short, a heavy box of books got placed, roughly I might add, on top of the box holding a set of my grandmothers dishes. I lost two tea cups, a bowl, and a dinner plate when all was said and done. Certainly the nook would have been a much lighter item to move!
I’m always afraid when traveling I’ll run out of something to read. Therefore, I pack a lot of books. Heck, on an overnight trip to NYC, I took 4 (yeah, I know!) books with me. It’s ridiculous! Last summer when we drove to Kentucky I had a duffel full of books. It’s was a major pain to pack all of the books, but you’d better believe that I had at least 30 with me. See, you can check out a total of 30 books from the library at any one time (and I usually am always at my limit), plus I put some on my sons card. On that vacation, I read all the books I had brought and had to buy more.
It would be super handy to have an unlimited supply of books on one device. It would certainly make packing easier…which means a happy hubby in that mix too!

We took a train and car trip to Northern California and Oregon with our two kids. Each child packed 3 or 4 books to read, but read them so quickly we had to make two stops and Barnes & Noble along the way. We ended up shipping a box of books home because they were too heavy for our luggage. A Nook would have been so fabulous!

great site and prize
I never know what kind of mood I’ll be in when I go somewhere, so I never know what book I will want to read. I end up taking 4 or 5 books with me and only read one of them. It would be great to be able to take all my books with me if they were in a Nook.
I am the world’s worst over-packer, I always want to bring 5 or 6 pair of shoes, then run out of room in my suitcase and have to put stuff in my carry-on. Having a Nook would keep me from having to bring 2-3 books and save me a lot of room – yea – I actually COULD bring all those shoes!
I always bring something with me to read when I travel. I usually am reading a hard cover book from the library which I never bring with me because it is too big and I would hate to have anything happen to a library book. A nook would be great because it would be mine and I could easily get something new to read anytime!
Stopped taking books, just to darn heavy!
I am a big-time reader. Whenever I go out of town, Ihave to take at least two booksand usually more. This would help a lot.
This would be great to have ! I don’t know if it could help me carry less , but at lease I can keep all my books in one place and not have to dig through boxes to look for the next one on my list after moving since the books are usually the first thing I pack and the last thing I unpack .

My worst packing woes, is actually the shear weight of all those wonderful books, that I MUST take with me. I have such a hard time choosing the ones I want to take with me because of their weight. I usually end up with only paperback, because the hard covers get really heavy after a while! I feel really bad for my fiancee who packed, lifted, and carried all my books when we moved recently. He was not happy with me. A nook would be great to have….light weight!! Plus, my fiancee would not have to move hundreds….if not thousands(!!) of more books god forbid we move again.

The last time I went on vacation was to Mexico for a week. I ended up packing a suitcase of just books. I read them all when I was there, but somehow lotion ended up spilling on all the ones that weren’t in my carry on. How much more convenient would it be to have them all in my carry on in one device?
I always take reading material when I travel. This would help by allowing for more books in less space. Thanks.
I hate trying to make weight with my luggage at the airport so I don’t have to pay the ridiculous over the limit charges. I try to weigh my suitcase on my bathroom scale before I leave, but I have to tip it to see the number so it’s not very accurate. This would help because its a lot lighter than a stack of books!

I’m in the middle of moving. I have over TWENTY boxes of books. I’m going to destroy my husband’s back! I need a nook!
I am a horrible packer most of the time because I can never make up my mind as to what I want to bring with me. I despise flying & need constant distractions, so I overpack books & all kinds of stuff to make sure I will be comfortable & entertained. The Nook makes it possible to be prepared for any mood without lugging all that extra weight of too many books.
Every day to work I carry my lunch, purse, book, laptop, mail that needs to go out..it’s too much! If I had a nook I could eliminate the books and save some arm space!
I love reading, and when I used to travel in the car with a few books, it was a nightmare. Plus I cant bring a bunch of other books with me to class now. I would love a nook because I can read anything where ever, when ever, and not be bulked down.
In my city the library is about 1 mile away from my home. For me it is so hard to walk the whole city with a bunch of books. It would be easier to read all these books laying on the bed.
I always pack to many books and entertainment devices in my carry on bag. I’m always afraid I will get bored while waiting and I bring more than I could ever possibly read on one trip. A nook would help so much since I could carry a variety of reading material in one small space.

I always have a book with me, to read during lunch, to read when waiting for an appointment, and any other time I have the opportunity….yes, I am an avid reader. A mere handbag can’t hold all I NEED! The Nook would definitely make my load lighter…and when I travel, I wouldn’t need to pack several bulky books.
Thank you.
We live in an a very small apartment and my bookshelf looks like it threw up! Though, I don’t think I would replace all of my books with the Nook…it would definitely be a BIG HELP. Furthermore, when I travel I am always afraid of being bored so I pack a few books but they’re heavy and take up a fair amount of room, so, it would help in that area too.

I like the idea of a ereader because I have way too many books. They are really heavy and cumbersome when I have to move, which will keep on happening because I rent.
Vacation is the only time busy moms get a chance to get some quality reading in…how nice to be able to consolidate multiple books into one nice package.
My wife reads threee books / week, she wiould love this
our last move was just a mess with all of our books. we had to sell/give away quite a lot of them, because there just wasn’t room. this would really help us out, being able to keep a lot of books in one tiny device.
I hate packing shoes. I like to coordinate them with my outfits and never have enough room to pack them all in. I also take books on trips, and since my shoes take up most of the room in my suitcase or carry-on, I usually have the hassle of carrying the book with me. The Nook would really help.

Try moving every 2-3 years because you are in the military. I don’t get to KEEP books because we have weight limits and never know how much room the next house will have. Then try taking a trip with two kids, two dogs, and everyones bags.. There is never room for extras and I normally only get ONE book to take. One book lasts maybe an hour or two of reading. A Nook would be wonderful because it would help with the road trips… It would help when/if we are on the airplanes…. It would help me actually get to keep books due to moving…. I sooooo need a Nook so I can read books..

Packing books is horrible. THey are heavy and you have to use small boxes in order to be able to lift them. I would love a reader like this to take on vacation, to doctors visits, just everywhere I go.
I was taking my kids to Disney last year and decided it would be easiest to pack everything into one large suitcase which was exactly the right size as to avoid any surcharges. Because it was crammed it stuck out at the sides and out came the measure at the check-in and they deemed it to be too wide by one inch which was deemed to cost me $75. I wasn’t playing that game with them so opened it up and put on my jacket and had my daughters carry theirs and that extra bit of space kept it within the limits and saved me $75.
Okay, that doesn’t relate to the Nook but I read a lot and I’m sure it’s more efficient to carry the Nook in my carry-on than a selection of paperbacks!

My worst packing issue was when I went on my first cruise with my husband, and I wanted to bring plenty of books to read on my balcony & for the beaches. My bags winded up being soooo heavy and I was reading Harry Potter at the time, so that book alone took up so much space since it’s huge. The nook would have helped this.

We used to move quite a bit because of my husband’s job. I was always hear it about how many, and how heavy, my boxes of books were. This would certainly have helped then. Now my house is overrun with book shelves and books. I couls use the extra room, that’s for sure.
I have 2 young boys and so I never have room to pack anything for myself because of all the toys and things we have to bring to keep them entertained and occupied on the trip.
I usually focus more on my clothes when I’m packing, which leaves for very little extra room

My worst packing problem is that I want to take everything important in my carry on luggage. I’m always positive the rest will be hopeless lost anyway.

I always do take books with me when I travel. I also always do seem to pack half my house to take with me, so a nifty little reader like this would leave more room for me to squeeze other things into my suitcase. Shoes are the worst–they never seem to fit and I end up putting them in a tote bag.

I can’t go anywhere without at least two prayer books, my NAB Bible, Catechism book and Rosary as you can imagine, I have had to leave a few things behind to ensure they get packed.

i live in an apartment in chicago, and have bookshelves upon bookshelves filled with books. when changing apartments moving the books is always the worst part, because of the sheer amount i have. the last move, my book boxes took up over half of the dining room. so having a nook would definitely keep me from having to move more books as well as bookshelves (which also increase over time). also, i am going back to school, and a lot of textbooks are available in ebook format which would make carrying a calculus book a lot more comfortable.

My worst packing woe was thinking I brought book 3 (forget the series) but actually brought book 2. Ugh. I had nothing and had been looking forward to finishing the trilogy. In hindsight, though, it was not that good. I can’t even remember the title.
What I’d actually like this reader for is my daughter. She commutes to college via buses. She tries to make sure her backpack (which is heavy) is as light as possible. If she had a reader with her books on it . . . lets just say life couldn’t get much better for her! She’s an English Lit major so her books are probably available. I’ll have to think about getting her this for her b-day.

It’s not a nice ending to a vacation to worry about packing. A Nook would be fabulous both for saving space and for providing variety for both myself and others in the family. One Nook… lots of books!
My packing woes usually stem from the fact that most of my travel is for work-related seminars and conferences, which means I have to cram in tons of books, documents, and files with my laptop in my carry-on — in addition to leisure reading for the airplane or train. The nook would be a godsend for freeing up space (and weight) in my bag, making it easier to tote and to store during transit. Thanks for the chance to enter!

I never have enough room for all my shoes and accesories
Sometimes when I travel on business, I’ll be gone for a week or ten days. If I’m on my own, I may find someone to have dinner with a few nights, but I’ll spend a lot of time in the hotel. I rarely watch tv, so I take along a collection of books. They get heavy and take up space. The Nook would simplify my travel for sure!
I’ve always loved to catch up on my reading – but books are so heavy and I also like to travel light. What a grand solution! I used to be so desperate to shed the extra weight that I would actually tear out the pages as soon as I read them to lighten the load… As a book lover, this desecration offended me deeply! Thanks for the splendid giveaway!
Worse packing woe? LOL thats funny. I always end up forgetting most of what I was wanting to take. I will take entertainment for everyone but ME. So if I win the nook, I can load it will reading materials, and have it in my purse then I will have my entertainment with me at all times. This would also be helpful while in the waiting room at the doctors.

Books take up precious space and weight, especially in today’s air travel environment where every ounce counts! Having a Nook would allow me to keep myself entertained for trips of all different durations without having to worry about paying extra just to carry along a few extra books.

One of my biggest packing woes is how much stuff I have (especially books). I love reading but I hate packing up boxes and boxes of heavy books.

As I started to get hooked on sweepstakes i also found out about all the free mag subscriptions. So every flight i take I often am trying to carry a half a dozen magazines. this would certainly make life easier
I love to read on my vacation trips but once I have finished the book, I am left with having to pack it and take it home with me, I hate that, this would be great to be able to just bring a reader with me, no books

My biggest challenge is fitting all the things I need for the kiddos and having any room for my things. I have to have their favorite books to keep them happy and their bedtime book to help them drift off to sleep, and then the toys and lovies and clothes and infant gear. It would be so nice to tuck in a little nook this sexy little reader so I could have some nice unwind time when we arrive–especially since I will have people their to relieve me from duty, now and then.
When I visit my Mom who lives out of state I always have to bring a separate suitcase with my books in it. I tend to read quickly and all the time. When I fly I always have that bag as my carry on and it is so heavy it is starting to be I need a carry on with wheels. With a Nook I would be able to have lot’s of books, when I need to get more they would be right at my fingertips and my mother would be thrilled if I could not have so many suitcases when I go to visit, unless one help surprises for her.
With airlines charging for baggage now, it’s harder and harder to pack enough stuff in fewer bags for a full week with family twice each year. My carry-on bag is being overrun with essentials. I didn’t take any books over the holidays and felt the loss, especially on the plane. The Nook would make this so much easier. I wouldn’t be without something to read.
I’m a fast reader and usually read a book a day. That makes my suitcases very heavy when I travel. This would lighten my load and still give me all the reading material I need.

I always carry at least a couple of books on a long trip. With the Nook, I could carry a variety of reading materials in one small space. Of course as an actor and theatre aficionado, the first thing I’d load onto the Nook would be the complete works of Shakespeare, so I could study the plays and learn new monologues anywhere I go.
.-= Auriette´s last blog ..Am I too critical? =-.
My laptop bag would be a whole lot lighter if it wasn’t always packed with books as well. The Nook would free up space for the things I’m supposed to pack there….like my cables.
When we pack for trips not only do I have to take whatever I may be reading, but whatever my two kids kids are reading. Also I make a four hour trip every other weekend to see doctors and I am scheduled to have another surgery so this would be great to have!
Whenever I go on vacation, I always bring multiple books because I love to read, but they take up precious room. This would be so much easier to pack! Thanks!
Having to pack entertaining things for everyone in the family for the trip.
The problem is not packingto go, but coming back. I go out-of-town for conferences, and immediately get handled a huge bindger of materials that I have to get into the suit case. If I didn’t have my own books, all the better.
I usually take at least 3 books with me on a weekend trip, just in case I either finish them up or don’t like my first choice. This makes my bag heavy & awkward sometimes. The Nook would allow me to bring many books & get new ones on the fly. And it’s stylin’.
Thanks for the giveaway >^..^<
I wouldn’t have to pack any of my heavy books! That saves me about 10 lbs LOL
My packing woes could be a thing of the past! I usually pack way too much because I have an incurable desire to be ready for almost any eventuality. Add to that the fact that I am very easily bored; I am often over-burdened with things to keep me busy. Ironically, I am petite; I really need to curtail the load I carry. The nook could help me carry less because I think carrying books with me would become a rarity. The nook could easily remove ten pounds of books from my baggage.
I am a reader. I can’t travel without some books. My backpack gets very heavy. The nook will make my back feel better. Thanks for the contest.

Reading material is essential while traveling! Sometimes you want an easy read, or a magazine, and a longer trip sometimes requires a deeper story, but you don’t want to have to lug all of them along with you. This would be perfect!
Whenever I go away, I like to have a couple books and a few magazines. What always happens is that the pages get all bent and some torn from being shoved in with the rest of my luggage. If it’s a big book, it weighs down my luggage too! The nook could fit in my carry-on, be nice and lightweight, and let me have all of that extra bulk in one tiny and easy-to-use tool!
I always buy overpriced books at the airport. I wouldn’t have to worry about that anymore with the nook!

Worst packing woe just happened. My husband was deployed and I have a 18 month old son and my landlord decides that she doesn’t want to let me renew my lease. So I had to pack my whole house by myself. The nook would have definitely helped me out. We have A LOT of books. And those boxes were HEAVY!

Everytime we go on a trip, I love to take not just one book or magazine, but several, in case I get bored. My husband always says something like “we just going to be gone one day, do you have to carry all of those?”. Having a nook would be so nice. I could have all I want to read in one little device.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

Wow this would make my carry on bag weigh ALOT less. I wouldn’t have to lug around all of my books and my little one’s books for the trip – not just the plane ride. Would also make packing for car travel easier as well – not just packing as I said – but carrying the bags. I already lug around my little one half the time anyway!

Yikes – I read a lot. The last time we traveled for more than a week, I had a back pack loaded with books. I literally had to leave them at our destination because I couldn’t carry them any more lol! (Well all except the library book that is!).
.-= Tammy´s last blog ..The 39 Clues Book Giveaway =-.
Since we have no luggage, lost when our basement flooded two years ago, we use backpacks and boxes to pack up and go on our yearly summer trip. I alone usually pack a box of books since i never know what I will want to read until I am actually lounging in the sun and know what I am in the mood for. So the Nook would save me the back breaking job of lugging a box of books with me since I could have them all in one little, easy to carry device.

i love to read and when i go places usually take quite a few books like on our camping trips..the problem is we have more stuff to lug and my books usually end up getting wet as my kids will throw damp towels in the bag with them especially when we got to the beach..this i could keep in my purse

When I travel anywhere I pack quite a few books. And that is not including the books my kids read. Not only can they get pretty heavy but I can never remember all of the books I want to read. If I had the nook it would be so much easier to keep track off and a lot lighter.

I HATE going on vacation. My husband is happy to sit around doing nothing, but it drives me nuts. So what I usually do is bring a stack of books with me so I can read the whole week. If we go to the beach, I never know whether to bring one book or two, so it would be great to have a Nook and have them all in one place – and a much SMALLER place!

I do hate packing when I visit my family. After I’ve packed my clothing and other essentials, I also have to remember to bring library books and other books – it’s hard to know how many I’ll need so i usually bring too many.

I have to take certain things when I pack and I do need things to read. If I buy some things from my trip, the return is even worse. My suitcase is ripping-the zipper…that shows how bad it is! Restrictions on weight do not help, either! This would solve that problem.

My worst packing woes with books is that alot of mine are hardcover editions and they are bulky and take up way to much room in the carry-on. I need my books with me so I usually end up leaving something practical behind to make room for my book. Stephen King versus my hair dryer….guess I have go with Stephen.

I often carry a book and a number of magazines when I travel. I usually read the heaviest magazines first, to toss along the way. I’d like to read in a different order, and the Nook would allow me to do that.
I hate packing I take a lot clothes so it is hard to fit everything in my suitcase .
I would LOVE to win this because it would be so much easier to travel with! I always have to have an extra carry on for all my books when I travel. Thanks so much for the contest!!!
My worst packing woes happened when I used to travel with my band and had to carry music equipment. Back then if I was on a flight, at least one item would count as checked baggage without an extra fee, but nowadays, I’d have to pay through the nose. There are surcharges for just about everything. I used to just bring one magazine or a newspaper because I was already carrying so much. Now I probably would even manage that.
The nook would be a great help on long flights, or on the train, they are a boon to any commuter’s journey. No more clutter! Everything including newspapers in one convenient place. Cross my fingers!

I feel like I’m saving a forrest when I use my old ebook
I had to sit on my luggage to crush it down enough to close. This would help free up some space.
The last time I moved, I had so many books, the boxes of them required their own van trip…That was exhausting. I read so much, this would really help cut down on that.
Thanks for the giveaway.
When I travel I like to take 3 or 4 books. While I’m reading I always take off the cover and it never fells , I forget to repack the cover to atleast one. Plus the weight is a killer on the back. To have everything together and light-weight would be fabulous.

I was on a business trip and had to carry with me some a bunch of confidential paperwork – I wish I would have packed everything in a carry-on with wheels because my arms about fell off from the weight – a nook would have allowed me to carry my “eliminate boredom” stuff easily!

When I go out of state to visit family members, I always like to bring with me whatever I am reading at the current time. I tend to bring what everyone jokes as “my life” with me when I pack (meaning clothes for any or all occasions, things I think I might need ’cause “you never know!” Because of this, I at times have forgotten to pack a few of my favorite magazines or current books with me and am at a loss, so the Nook would be an amazing thing for me to own! Just the idea that it is small and portable and stores a lot to read would be incredible for me!

I want to carry books with me when I travel However, I can’t carry more than one book because of their size. I either have to carry books I don’t really want to read or carry magazines.
I love to read on vacation but never have enough space. The carry on can only take one or two books and I can usually only take 1 more in my regular luggage. If I am away for more than three days, I will need more books. This nook would be perfect to slip in my purse and be able to read whatever I want and use little space.

My bag once busted open in the library because I overstuffed it with library books. I was checking out at least twelve for research and I kept stuffing them in there. In the end I had to carry them all! The nook could help me as I could pack many more books in there and not have to worry about the weight of the books!
Packing enough carry on stuff to keeps the kids busy makes me crazy, and since the nook is so small, I can ditch the paperbacks.
My worst packing woes are finding enough space for everything I want to bring. The nook could help me carry less by eliminating the need to bring books, magazines, or newspapers.

I read really fast, so any time I go on vacation, I have to take up precious suitcase room packing several books. A book reader would be great, I could take as many books with me as I want.
I never have enough room to bring books with my on trips. I usually end up buying another one. With 3 kids there is not enough room in the car for books,lol
I am a big reader and like to take books when i visit family but they take up a lot of room. I think that the Nook sounds great!!
I always pack way too much, and then when it comes to books, I always pack 3 or 4 or sometimes 5, because I get panicked that I’ll run out of books to read.
I go to meetings all the time and carry a lot of books. Unfortunately, I’m a paraplegic and it’s hard to carry books and things. It would be cool to just be able to carry all my books on a nook in my pocket!
I never have enough room for everything when I come home. It seems to multiply while I am gone. The Nook means I wouldn’t have to take a stack of books, too.

I had to travel from Toronto to San Francisco for a conference. I had to carry a 5 volume technical manual for reference while I completed my presentation. I had to pay overage for the additional weight. A nook would have reduced my travel costs. Although all those electrons still weigh a lot – it’s not as much as paper. I do this quite often so a Nook would certainly help.
Hello, I travel a lot and carry books with me where ever I go. It surley is a pain! A nook would cure all my travel woes. I certainly hope I am considered! Thanks you !
