So I searched but mostly all I found was how to tether a computer to a phone. Is it possible to tether my NC to my phone?
If your phone can work as a Wifi access point, than you can tether the NC to it. I have done this a few times with my Samsung Galaxy S phone. It was quite slow, but it works if you really want to download a book.

Some phones only support a ad-hoc Wifi connection. That will not work with the NC.
