I bought a Nook about a year ago. Useless. Can't surf the web with
it, yet it will reach the closest Barnes & Noble, 90 miles away.
Can't read library ebooks on it, cuz all the libraries use Adobe ADE
and Adobe refuses to make software for Linux. The worst part is, it's
too thin to use as a doorstop! Basically, a total waste of $80. 8|
