In My Mailbox (IMM) is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren. For more information about IMM, visit her info page here.

So… the most exciting thing to arrive in my mailbox was not a book exactly… it was the next generation Nook. It arrived yesterday (Saturday)! I pre-ordered and wasn’t expecting to get it, or for it to be shipped until June 10th (when supposedly they became available). My hubby and I were outside washing the cars when the mail lady came by and said she had a package for me :). I wanted to hug her!

I have to admit, I feel like a traitor to my Kindle 3. However, the jury is still out on which device I prefer to read on. I think the Nook is pretty, and I love that I have my own screen saver of family pictures on it… and that I can read DRM protected ePubs on it… but I still heart my Kindle. I think I can say I like the page turning buttons on the Kindle better, but of course you can swipe to turn pages on the Nook’s touch screen. *sigh* I feel so conflicted.

OK, so books… I SCORED at the library this week! I’m thrilled to have these books, I may have to completely rework my review schedule around these. I’m purposely stocking up on audiobooks for my father-daughter boat trip vaca later this month, since I don’t always do well with reading on airplanes and small-ish boats. And… it IS Audiobook Month you know! It’s going to be hard waiting to listen to Where She Went and Across the Universe.

    Wow, awesome books! Pretty much all of those are on my wishlist. And I'm going to pick up Where She Went from the library this afternoon.Also, I'm planning on buying an e-reader soon, but I have no experience with either the Nook or the Kindle so I don't know which to get. And obviously you're conflicted too, but any advice? 🙂
