I don't have wifi at home though, which apparently is necessary to register the Nook before use. Not sure about the screen size, but only time will tell if it's too small for my dad. I think they could've made it bigger without making the Nook any bigger, but I don't doubt that the next generation Nook will have a bigger screen. Got to hold something back so people buy the next one.

Congratualtions on the nook, it's great and hopefully your father will enjoy
. I know my father does. Downloading wirelessly was huge for him. He still struggles to sideload music to his MP3 player, wiithouth the wireless downloading feature, it would have been too much of a headache for him.
As far as registering his Nook, as long as you are in a 3G reception, you can register it that way , unless you got the Wi Fi only. If that's the case then I would go to your nearest BN and register it there, it hooks up automatically to it's wi fi or a Starbucks. Wireless routers are pretty cheap now, you should be able to pick one up at Best Buy or somewhere for around $30 for a basic one.
Good luck and come over to the Nook subforums if you have any questions.
