You probably can't print up a recipe off of a nook though, can you?
You can print off an iPad - does Android support wireless printing?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One of the brilliant things about a Nook or a tablet is avoiding the printing of recipes. I used to "lug" my laptop into the kitchen, but no more!
How have I not worked out if I can print from either my tablet or my Nook? Slacker.

I do bring my iPad into the kitchen with me, but nervously. I need to get a waterproof case for it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I use a gallon-sized ziploc bag with my iPad. The touch screen is still usable with it on.

Dan and I bought a color nook a few weeks ago as a mutal bday present, and it's fucking awesome.
Yes, the battery life is about 8 hours, but it charges really quickly, and if you have kids, the interactive books are cool as hell, and the color looks better than on a iPad.
We bought it mainly to be an e-reader, and because I already had 140 books on my PC Nook, but I am REALLY glad we did. It's an excellent e-reader (it's backlit, but at night, I just dial the brightness down to the lowest level, and have not problems with eyestrain) and it's a great mini-tablet, too.
It's a little heavier than the Kindle, but I usually read with a book propped on a pillow on my belly or on a pillow lying on my side in bed, so it's a non-issue for me.
I LURVES it.

My kitchen is set up so that there's a foot or so wide section on the left of my stove that's away from all the fuss and I never do any mixing or measuring of foodstuffs there. It's where the recipe lives whether it's book or electronic.

I love the Kindle app on my iPhone and iPad. Now I can carry vampire books with me ALL THE TIME.
(However, I am always going to be the teensiest bit bitter about the ebook revolution. Goddammit, Microsoft Reader was great, and if the PTB had listened to some of us, it would have been a major player in the market. Grrrr.)

One of my biggest loves of my nook is that I can convert really long fics into epubs and put them on there and not have to be pushing the down button on my Palm every second to get to the next screen. Plus, italics that work.

Yes--thanks to a rec from Connie I am reading an EPIC Hermoine fic on my kindle. Wheee!

meara-- is that the one from FFN? because if so, I should warn you, it's a big ragged. I skimmed a lot. Loved the content, but the presentation needs some work.
