Ok, so I bought a nook. Was a total impulse buy and I'm not sure if I like it so far. The first two things I looked for were not available on B&N site (Popular fantasy books from the 80's...), but are available from the Amazon site.

Cao, did you find a way to convert kindle stuffs to nook stuffs?

*edit* The books I looked for are the first book of the Belgariad, by Eddings and Magician, by Feist. Seriously? These two staple fantasy books aren't available for the nook? Bleh.

Does it annoy anyone else how BN has set up their ebook site in regards to the free google books? Click a subject - Sometimes a sub-category - sort by price. There should just be a category for the free Google books by themselves. The only reason that I can see for them not to have one is the hope that people will impulse buy books while they're searching for the free ones.

they're always at the top of the list when i sort by price on my nook. like all of the books on google books are really old obscure things though so it's rare to have them come up unless you're specifically looking for old crap. it's really good for mythology and stuff like that.

Mythology and Classics. Sherlock Holmes stories for instance.
