ok, my nook came yesterday, and i just have to say...I LOVE THIS THING! yes, it's a Christmas gift, so i don't get it for over 2 weeks, but i put a couple of books on it yesterday after i got it, and it was SO easy. i just "purchased" (they were free) the books from B&N, then when i turned on the nook, i went to the right page and clicked "download" on the books and they downloaded! now i need to put a few on DDs! (decided to learn on mine first, to avoid messing hers up in any way, lol)
