Didn't buy a case for it but I want to, lets see if they have another sale soon.

Everything works fine so far, I got a anti- glare cover for the screen. I had my wife put it on since he fingers are more coordinated than mine but it looked easier than expected. I wondered about cleaning the screen since it gets smudgy easy but the A-G sheet came with a special cleaning cloth. It even has a nook symbol on it.

Speaking of the Nook symbol, I wondered what that funny symbol was. But a couple of visits ago I was reading the instructions and it stated the symbol was a n. Oh, really? Okay, I can see that now.

So far my eyes are okay a bit tired but not too bad. I must have spent over an hour reading books, two, and figuring out the controls. Changed the wallpaper twice. Oh, I never did get the pinch out to work.

As to if they give a refurbished replacement if something is defective. I was standing in line at the store last night at the Nook booth. The person in front of me was buying one for their daughter... she looked around nine... and the Nook lady said a replacement would be a new Nook, not a refurbished one. Of course that was with the extra protection you can buy. So far mine is working great. A couple of weeks ago I was told that depending on what is wrong with it they could repair it there, or ship it out for certain repairs or give a new one.

Kinda funny thing is the daughter wanted a certain case for it. The computer said they had one in stock the Nook lady tore the booth apart looking for it. Nothing. The father said it might be hidden under a stairwell some place. Later someone else was still looking for it and another Nook person said it could be still packed in the back. So the father may have been right after all. As far as I know no one found it.

I didn't buy a case yet but I will. Boy the cases for the Color Nook range from thirty dollars to over a hundred. I would like one that has something to do with writing. Months ago I saw the one with a big & on the front. Thought that might work. They also have one with a bunch of famous writer's autographs

here

Can't find the & one on the website. But they also have frames that might help protect it, I noticed the kindle skins are suppose to do that.

And I can download .doc files and open them. Can't open .rtf files though. Haven't tried .txt or docx . But when I talked to the Nook ladies about files I don't recall them saying it but there's a file compartment in the library section. I had to find it, it wasn't that hard though.

I managed to get to my site but couldn't check my E-mail for some reason. Wouldn't even bring up the page.

And I thought about trying other sites but as I was about to type in this address I realize I didn't know it. I always use the link. I have to write out the address and a couple of others.

Still need to try buy from smashwords that should be an easy site to recall and I need to look for a Bible or two to download.

Any suggestion for smashwords? I believe a couple of us have stories or at least books up there. Right now stories or a shorter book would be better. But even any not from here that you think are good would be okay to suggest.

When I read the part where it says you can have what is on the screen flip as you turn the device I thought "hey this does almost as much as the ipad" and you confirm that thought.

I haven't updated my progress in learning the device so I can here:

No word processor so you have to write anything in an e-mail, which I haven't tried yet, and I seem to be having problems with getting songs into the right file but I may have the cure for that, I just have to remember to try it.

And I haven't figured out the bookmarks yet but I am slowly reading the how to book.

Oh and for this book it took like thirty second or less to download. The other two books I've done took a bit longer... I wondered if something went wrong but it's all there.

I'm still having problems getting the music to keep playing. It's suppose to go to the next song but so far hasn't. The song I click on plays fine and the controls work but so far it doesn't go to the next one. A Music video played fine also. Picture and sound were good quality.

No, no, no.

He's story isn't about Ms Pacman even though it looked that way on the header.

I can get a Ms Pacman app for my Nook.

And if I take my Nook to the store I can get various articles from writers--including a couple that talk about writing and book tours etc..

I can even read a book for one hour for free.

Okay, figured out what I was doing wrong with the music.... duh.

I was at work this morning and it just came to me... had to wait all day and then some to try it. I believe it worked.

Bought a book this weekend. Hmm if the other is an e-book should we call the original a P-book?

Somehow I don't think so.

I was going to buy a certain e-book that is only out in hardback but then I saw the price. It's significantly cheaper- somewhere between eight and twelve dollars cheaper- than the hardback but still more than I want to spend. So I guess I'll be waiting for the paperback after all.

Been looking for another e-book to buy but there's so many SF that it takes time to go through the list. And I assume some are just e-books.

But be careful what you look for. I checked out urban fantasy and got not only UF but erotic books with black characters. Wasn't looking for porn or erotic of any nationalities

But in an ad for Ipad two it looked like when you moved to the next page the page flipped. That is it was made to look like the page moved.

Edited to add: I looked it up, and it's one of her mysteries. Nook owners on Hatrack, this is one you really should consider downloading.

Hey, the Kindle is on Fire.

Well, I guess that's why they call it Kindle Fire.

And from what little I read about it I don't think the Fire makes the Color Nook obsolete. It seems to do about the same stuff as the Nook.

Okay finally bought a cover for my Nook. Nice one for writing inspiration.

Got for free since I used a gift card I got from my bank. Took me three trips to B&N to remember it but I did today.
