Yes, absolutely. Had the NC and loved it, but the N7 offers much more capability. Go for the 16gb. I am not missing the SD card. With cloud storage (connected via wifi) and the ability to play music and videos from a usb drive the lack of SD seems to be a non-issue. The native Nook reader in the NC is much better than the Nook app in my opinion, but there are other reader apps that are compatible.
