Hi, I already have another 5" reader, but the $50 nook price cut is so tempting - as I always love the 6" nook screen better. Can someone help with these questions before I jump on the bandwagon:

1. Everybody is talking about the $50 gift cert with purchase of a nook, but I don't remember I saw that in local B&N store and cannot find anything like that on bn.com, so is this already ended? if it is still in effect, is it only applicable when you purchase a 3G nook or it also works with the new wireless version? where can I find the deal?

2. Can the nook rotate a PDF file (reading horizontally)? If yes, does it work for text based file only or does it work for scanned image PDF also?

3. Can the nook zoom in (enlarge) a scanned PDF file (basically images)?

4. Can I put more fonts to the nook and have it set as default for epub file?

5. Can I upgrade the built in English dictionary at all?

Many thanks.
