a book ipod? 15/f
Barnes and Noble has this product called the Nook. The only way I know how to describe it is a iBoook kind of. On an ipod you can download music but on the nook you can download books. The problem I have is that the device is $259 dollars and thats not including the books that I would want to buy. The books are up to 10 dollars. I was wondering if there were any other devices like this but cheaper and the books are cheaper to get.
Thanks

Well, if you had an iPhone, you could download the Amazon Kindle app for free. Kindle is the Amazon version of the reader you found from Barnes and Noble. Then, you could download and read books on your iPhone. You would still have to buy books, though there are many, many free books available for Kindle through Amazon....maybe not the ones you want, but free.
If you chose to download the Kindle app for iPhone, of course you would have to HAVE an iPhone. The last I heard, the latest version of iPhone is on sale for $199 and the version of iPhone before that one is on sale for $99.
If you choose this option, note that it isn't exactly like reading books on the real Kindle or Nook, because the iPhone is alot smaller, though you can make the type larger, if you want....and it "feels" like the Kindle in that you change pages easily. However, the Kindle app is backlit. That means it might be harder on the eyes, since the real Kindle reader uses a new technology called "electronic ink" which needs no backlight.
I hope all this has helped. ]
