FYI, In case you weren't aware. The nook can read Kobo ebooks without rooting (non-kepubs).

Thanks, the "free nook books" brings up a quite decent selection, all with good covers, but the "filter: free only" at kobo is a lot more intuitive... but then, I've been finding stuff for mum's Kobo for a lot longer than I've been checking out Nook / B&N. Actually, just FREE on its own seems to be enough to get into the free catalog.
It seems that getting to a specific book (is there a free version) is more awkward though - if you add FREE, it mucks up the search, or if you sort low to high, it brins up a lot of junk.
Oh yes, native format - EPUB (non-DRM, their DRM & ADE?), so for a Kobo freebie, double up & download the EPUB.
And they got rid of the hidden browser (removed in 1.1, don't suppose it came back in 1.2.1) - blimey, there's be outcry if Kobo did that, as it's so handy.
