I remember now why I sort of put my Nook away for a little while. I was reading books in actual book form, you know, with paper and ink and all that jazz. And then I finished them. I then had nothing else to read so I got out my Nook. So far I've probably spent about $25 in the past 2 or 3 days.

Now, $25 or so really isn't that much money. Until you take into account that it was all spent within a few day period of time and if I'm not careful I could end up spending hundreds in a few weeks. That's the real problem with my Nook.

I love the instant gratification of buying a book and getting to read it about 10 seconds later. The only problem is that I don't even have to get into my wallet and hand my credit card to someone. I tend to pay a little bit better attention to what I'm spending when I have to see them scan my card and look at the total. With my Nook it's just a few dollars here and a few there that add up way faster that you would think. I'm betting I regret getting it out again.

I'm really hoping that I don't have to blog about credit card debt here in the next few weeks.
