Yeah, the reader is lightweight, but the generator and gasoline you would need to keep it charged over the long term are a bear to lug around.

Not a survival tool in the least bit IMHO. But a neat thing to have for reading books when you're not busy trying to stay alive in survival mode. I really like my Nook (which I just bought last week, BTW), and would recommend it to anyone. But not as a survival tool.
