Does anyone own the Barnes and Noble "Nook"?
 

I just go my Kindle from Amazon on Friday, otherwise I'd love to swap advice and lend books. :)

I just love the ereader!!!! How do you like the Kindle? I wonder if we can swap between different ereaders?! I'll google it...LOL

How do you like The Nook??? I am asking for one for Christmas. Boyfriend is inclined to buy the Kindle and I told him not to because I want The Nook. (he tends to buy whatever is cheaper, not necessarily what I want) but I looked at them both and just love The Nook. Hows the book prices? How does the Lending work? I'd be glad to lend with you when I get mine! :)

I LOOOOOVE it! I could not put the thing down this weekend. :D

I don't think Kindle lets us share books.....that's something that's coming in a few months. That would be neat, though.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the nook! I really like it because you can lend books for up to 14 days, which saves on book money. Plus the books are much cheaper! I went with what was cheaper too, but I'm a big fan of B&N. I actually got a Nook for my nephew and my son, so we can use the LendMe feature. I bought the B&W older version of the Nook and I don't see when the color one is needed. To me, it was just a new way for them to make more money. Let me know if you get the Nook and we can share!

Oh I will!!!! Yeah I would just get the B&W one too. I don't need a color one. I also won't buy the 3G one since I have a Droid and carry a data plan so I can get online with that whenever I need to. I just want the B&W one bc of the eInk reading and the anti glare screen so I can read it outside in the sun!

That's why I didn't get the color one either. I have a laptop at home, I have internet access at work and I have an iphone with a data plan. So I have access to internet at all times...LOL!

i dont know much about it but i love my kindle, its attached to me at all times! lol

Ever since I got mine, it's been in my purse at all times too...LOL. I still have to figure out the LendMe feature, but I can't wait to try it with someone. :D

So did any of you end up with the Nook? If not, maybe we can swap book titles?!

I got an ipad for christmas, and I think there is a nook app. I don't know much about it yet.

I can't stop reading now that I have a nook. I read more than ever and I think it's because the books are at my fingertips, instead of having to go to the store. I thought I would miss having a "book", but I don't....

I've had my nook since June and I love it! I haven't tried lending books yet, but I like that I can search online and download a new book whenever I finish reading. I've also taken advantage of a lot of the free downloads at b&n, although sometimes I think you get what you pay for.

I got a Nook for Christmas. Still trying to figure it out though!

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!!!!

With what or whom do you lend between if not between devices?

you have to know someone with the kindle i'm presuming.

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!!! :)

ok on my way to check! :)

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.

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