I have the Kindle(L-O-V-E it)...they now let you lend too, but not between devices.

Well maybe we can suggest titles to each other?

I'm currently reading "An Echo in the Bone" by Diana Gabaldon. It's part of the Outlander series. It probably wasn't a good first choice for the nook.

Right now i'm reading "Hunger Games" series that's for teens, but VERY good!!!!

Nookie here and I love, love love my NOOK! I would love to have the Color NOOK but my Black & White Nook is not even a year old and it is in mint condition.

Let me know if anyone wants to "share" "lend" with me. I can give a list of books I've got...

I got one! I got one!!! Love my bf!!

I would LOVE to figure out the Lend feature. I'll send you a PM with my email address so we can take this offline, but if you really want to lend with me I would love that! I want to read the Hunger games series. I am right now reading The girl who kicked the Hornet's Nest. I have a ways to go though so I can't borrow anything for awhile. I LOVE it though!!!

I got the black & white "classic" nook for Christmas. I think I have it all figured out but I'm frustrated by something and wondered if anyone else has this problem. In our area there are only a few free wi-fi places. I thought I would be able to use the nook anywhere that has wi-fi. When I tried to register the nook for the first time on my hospital's wi-fi (I'm a nurse) it wouldn't work (I tried for 2 days) so I went to Panera. At Panera it would say the nook was connected but wouldn't register. After spending 30 minutes on Friday & 30-40 minutes on Saturday with customer service while sitting in Panera we just couldn't get it to work (even tried resetting to factory settings and a "hard reset). Customer Services said it might be the wi-fi settings in these places - even though I saw people on their computers. So, on Saturday I drove 85 miles to the nearest Barnes & Noble. It worked immediately in B&N and I was able to download all the books I wanted (I had 11 free ones ready to download). Have any of you had any difficulty in connecting to the internet by wi-fi in any businesses? I just wondered if Customer Service was correct that some wi-fi settings might not support my nook, if so that is going to be very frustrating since I can only go to a few businesses in my area for free wi-fi. I didn't get the 3G nook since I thought I wouldn't have any trouble using the wi-fi.

I was able to get onto the Wi-Fi at my work and the Wi-Fi at the ski lodge with no problems.... but I have not tried anywhere like Panera or even B&N yet.

chandracz · 01-03-2011, 09:36 AM

That must be really frustrating for you! I have not had wi-fi issues either but have only tried it at my house.
