Whenever I go out of town on a road trip or by plane I always like to carry reading material to pass the time. Except I always hated having yet another thing to keep up with.
This is another reason why the nook is such a great companion for readers. You can store as many books as you want with out being weighed down by the load. Bizzie Mommy readers have a chance to enter to win their very own nook e-reading device.

books are always heavy&now a lot of time you have to pay by weight for your bags,so this would save money&space!

I do hate packing when I visit my family. After I’ve packed my clothing and other essentials, I also have to remember to bring library books and other books – it’s hard to know how many I’ll need so i usually bring too many. A nook would be wonderful and take up ever so much less room and I’d always have access to a lot more books that I can carry!

We have to pack a ton of stuff for softball. We end up having to make 2 or 3 trips to the car to pack it all up. I would love to have the nook to keep in my purse so that I don’t have to remember to get my book as we are walking out the door. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have to take certain things when I pack and I do need things to read. If I buy some things from my trip, the return is even worse. My suitcase is ripping-the zipper…that shows how bad it is! Restrictions on weight do not help, either! This would solve that problem.

My worst packing woes with books is that alot of mine are hardcover editions and they are bulky and take up way to much room in the carry-on. I need my books with me so I usually end up leaving something practical behind to make room for my book. Stephen King versus my hair dryer….guess I have go with Stephen.

thank you!
I often carry a book and a number of magazines when I travel. I usually read the heaviest magazines first, to toss along the way. I’d like to read in a different order, and the Nook would allow me to do that.
I hate packing I take a lot clothes so it is hard to fit everything in my suitcase .
I would LOVE to win this because it would be so much easier to travel with! I always have to have an extra carry on for all my books when I travel. Thanks so much for the contest!!!
My worst packing woes happened when I used to travel with my band and had to carry music equipment. Back then if I was on a flight, at least one item would count as checked baggage without an extra fee, but nowadays, I’d have to pay through the nose. There are surcharges for just about everything. I used to just bring one magazine or a newspaper because I was already carrying so much. Now I probably would even manage that.
The nook would be a great help on long flights, or on the train, they are a boon to any commuter’s journey. No more clutter! Everything including newspapers in one convenient place. Cross my fingers!

I feel like I’m saving a forrest when I use my old ebook
I had to sit on my luggage to crush it down enough to close. This would help free up some space.
The last time I moved, I had so many books, the boxes of them required their own van trip…That was exhausting. I read so much, this would really help cut down on that.
Thanks for the giveaway.
When I travel I like to take 3 or 4 books. While I’m reading I always take off the cover and it never fells , I forget to repack the cover to atleast one. Plus the weight is a killer on the back. To have everything together and light-weight would be fabulous.

I was on a business trip and had to carry with me some a bunch of confidential paperwork – I wish I would have packed everything in a carry-on with wheels because my arms about fell off from the weight – a nook would have allowed me to carry my “eliminate boredom” stuff easily!
Thanks
I hate not being able to get what I need to in a suitcase

I have always had a hard time packing,suitcase only holds so much.Shoes seem to
take up a lot of room,not to mention all the clothes you need while you’re away.
I like to take books with me,it makes the flight seem a little shorter.My husband told
me I pack too much and my reply is I need it all. I would love to make adjustments
since the weight fees have gone up

I have only flown 2 times, so packing isn’t too bad. But I love to have a book on hand. This would be great.

I need the nook because my favorite vacation would be a beachhouse on the shore line with a couple dozen books to read. I couldn’t pack that many along with all my clothes so I will need the nook to make my vacation complete. It will save me lots of money because I usually buy several books while on vacation.
Thanks for the giveaway
Not only what books to pack, but also do I risk taking library books out? One of the packing questions…
i always pack a few books on any trip, having a nook would save space in my bag and save paper!
I am always trying to carry too much. When I pack for a trip, I try to take everything I own! This would be great, because I love to read, and I wouldn’t have to carry all my books.

I carry so many books around with me all the time. A nook would be amazing!
I cannot begin to tell you how many books I carry in my car, purse etc..I always have at least 3 on me..a nook would make my life much much easier…yay

When I go out of state to visit family members, I always like to bring with me whatever I am reading at the current time. I tend to bring what everyone jokes as “my life” with me when I pack (meaning clothes for any or all occasions, things I think I might need ’cause “you never know!” Because of this, I at times have forgotten to pack a few of my favorite magazines or current books with me and am at a loss, so the Nook would be an amazing thing for me to own! Just the idea that it is small and portable and stores a lot to read would be incredible for me!
Thanks for the great contest!

I want to carry books with me when I travel However, I can’t carry more than one book because of their size. I either have to carry books I don’t really want to read or carry magazines.
I love to read on vacation but never have enough space. The carry on can only take one or two books and I can usually only take 1 more in my regular luggage. If I am away for more than three days, I will need more books. This nook would be perfect to slip in my purse and be able to read whatever I want and use little space.

My bag once busted open in the library because I overstuffed it with library books. I was checking out at least twelve for research and I kept stuffing them in there. In the end I had to carry them all! The nook could help me as I could pack many more books in there and not have to worry about the weight of the books!
Packing enough carry on stuff to keeps the kids busy makes me crazy, and since the nook is so small, I can ditch the paperbacks.
My worst packing woes are finding enough space for everything I want to bring. The nook could help me carry less by eliminating the need to bring books, magazines, or newspapers.
I became your Facebook fan.
I read really fast, so any time I go on vacation, I have to take up precious suitcase room packing several books. A book reader would be great, I could take as many books with me as I want.
I never have enough room to bring books with my on trips. I usually end up buying another one. With 3 kids there is not enough room in the car for books,lol
I am a big reader and like to take books when i visit family but they take up a lot of room. I think that the Nook sounds great!!
I always pack way too much, and then when it comes to books, I always pack 3 or 4 or sometimes 5, because I get panicked that I’ll run out of books to read.
I go to meetings all the time and carry a lot of books. Unfortunately, I’m a paraplegic and it’s hard to carry books and things. It would be cool to just be able to carry all my books on a nook in my pocket!
I never have enough room for everything when I come home. It seems to multiply while I am gone. The Nook means I wouldn’t have to take a stack of books, too.

I had to travel from Toronto to San Francisco for a conference. I had to carry a 5 volume technical manual for reference while I completed my presentation. I had to pay overage for the additional weight. A nook would have reduced my travel costs. Although all those electrons still weigh a lot – it’s not as much as paper. I do this quite often so a Nook would certainly help.
