"Wut?" you says. YES YES YES! If you invite other nook owners by da email address dey gave B&N you can be speshul nook friends and even borrow books!

Da nook reads pdf and ePub plus images in jpg, gif, png and bmp.
"Sideload" means transfer files between your puter and da nook. You can sideload backgrounds, screensavers and ebooks you downloads from da web. Dis my favrit sites to find Free ebooks.
Update 6/27/2012:
To sideload, connect the nook to your computer with the USB cable. Wait a couple of minutes while it recognizes the device, finds driver, then tells you it connected. Now dat nook looks like a hard drive! Look for a folder named "books," dat where you put pdfs and epubs.
- Project Gutenberg "offers over 39,000 free ebooks: choose among free epub books, free kindle books, download them or read them online."
- epubBooks "epubBooks is a service that allows for many different online ebooks stores to be searched simultaneously."
- Open Library "The World's classic literature at your fingertips. Over 1,000,000 free ebook titles available.
- feedbooks "With Feedbooks, enjoy your books on any device : smartphones, tablets or dedicated readers."
- ManyBooks.net "the best ebooks at the best price: free!"
- The Nook Blog Barnes & Noble Book Club - Free Fridays offer guess what? Free books!
Screensavers is da authors whose dour visages appear when da nook goes to sleep. Get more nook screen savers from da innerwebs from sites like nook-look "Where your nook gets its attitude on." Oh oh oh da lady say she making 800x600 screensavers wif da GIMP just for my nook furends. Download, unzip, and "sideload" entire folder to dat screensaver directory. Choose Screen option under Settings to choose a set of screensavers.
It possible dat Amazon Kindle
can read pdf, epub, lit plus mobi, but I can't say cuz I neber seen one. Books for either nook or kindle are encrypted but nook ebooks are supposedly easier to crack because of a weaker encryption algorithm.Thanks to @Pumpkinpuddy, @RealFakeGator and @smokey8 for input and @crazykittyKat1 for lending me dat "Stick Dog" book.
Great, you have a nOOK too. So does M. She'll have to look up your address and you can borrow books from her. She doesn't many yet, but you are welcome to borrow what she does have. (Mostly mysteries). She hasn't gotten any books from anyplace else other than B& N because she's not sure how to work with Epub books. She did get one on her computer, but can't figure out how to get it to the nook.
ReplyDeleteM just sent you a friend request on the nook.
ReplyDeleteAdded update about how to sideload.
DeleteOh oh oh Mario you are in my nook!
