The face has left and right buttons on the edges which let you hold the Nook in either hand and still turn pages. The bottom has a mini-USB port, two speakers a headphone jack and two more tempting places to pop the cover open. This will probably void the warranty but since I threw the terms of service away I don't know.
The top has a power button (the silver strip) and two gray indents that are probably for opening it up. It's about the same size a trade paperback novel and weighs about the same as a 250 page book. The whole device is 7.5″ x 5″ and about a quarter of an inch thick. It's a white rectangle with very little in the way of buttons. I'm not talking about a leather cover with cool designs, I'm talking about a simple vinyl slip case to keep it safe until you realize that you need something better.
The one thing that annoyed me was that the Nook doesn't come with even the most basic protective case. You can charge the Nook either from your computer or a wall outlet. It also contained a USB cable and a plug adapter. The Nook comes in a very compact box that includes a standard terms of use paper (for the trash) and a quick start guide that of course I didn't read except to note that I was supposed to charge the reader before using it.

I selected the standard shipping option which I think was free and it took about a week for the Nook to arrive. I realize that they recently opened things up a little so you can read more formats but that wasn't their original intent. I ended up purchasing a Nook from Barnes and Noble because I really can't stand closed systems like Amazon's for the Kindle. But since we were going to be selling ebooks I figured it would be good to actually try one of these devices out. Until we were launching our Catholic digital media category I had never thought about buying an ebook reader like a Nook or a Kindle.
