For Christmas the "big gift" from my parents was a Nook Color to me and my siblings.
I really, really want to like and appreciate and use this gift, since it obviously cost my parents a pretty penny, but I'm just not sure if there's anything I can use it for.
I don't read as often as I nearly should, and I've got plenty of paper books sitting on my bedside table that need reading when I do. I can't remember the last time I've actually bought a book that wasn't One Piece or Fairy Tail manga (even though I read the scanlations, supporting the franchise and all that). Even then, I'm broke after the holidays, so I can't afford much.
I've taken a look at the apps section. The only games I could find were Angry Birds (bleh) and some other forgettable stuff that didn't hold any interest for me.
Is there anything I could actually use this thing for besides a paperweight? I don't want to hurt my mom's feelings and end up not using it or asking to return it. If I could actually use it as a legitimate drawing tablet (something I desperately need at the moment) that'd be something, or maybe some actually worthwhile games? I don't know, I'm at a loss.
