Well it depends on what you want in a tablet. There is no camera, hdmi out, or bluetooth (yet) on nook color. It does take some tinkering around to get it to where you want it to be, but once you do it's pretty cool. We have a forum over at androidtablets if you want to check it out Nook. There are a number of tablet out though that are decently priced, you just may have to mess with them to get them up to par.
